如何创建属性存储二进制文件

Question

I'm trying to implement an icon-based property in Windows File Explorer, and my understanding from this post is that it requires returning a property store binary file from the property handler. Does anyone know how to create a property store binary file? After searching, I've come across some documentation on the specification, but I don't see any examples of how to create one. Thank you very much.

You don't need any binary file , you just need an implementation of IPropertyStore . You can create one using the PSCreateMemoryPropertyStore method.

IPropertyStore *ps;
if (SUCCEEDED(PSCreateMemoryPropertyStore(IID_PPV_ARGS(&ps))))
{
    // do your work
    ps->Release();
}
