VB app, file properties.

[Andrew]

Hi all
Whenever we right click on a file in the windows explorer,
in the properties window, there is a summary tab where you
can enter comments for the file.
I want to create such properties summary page in my VB app
and I should be able to attach all fields to it. I should
be able to open properties page programatically and make
entries to it and access those entries again
programatically. My application is Win XP based VB 6.0.

Plesae provide some pointer.
Regards.

It's hard to tell for sure, but is one of these what you're looking for?

Yes, this is in fact what I was looking for.
Let me try this and get back to you.
Thanks a lot Karl.
