Getting the longfilename from a file.

Question:

How do I get the long file name of a file or directory from the short file name?

Answer:

You can use the Win32_Find_Data member of TSearchRec to extract
this information.

Example:

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  SearchRec : TSearchRec;
  Success : integer;
begin
  Success := SysUtils.FindFirst('C:\DownLoad\dial-u~1.htm',
                                faAnyFile,
                                SearchRec);
  if Success = 0 then begin
    ShowMessage(SearchRec.FindData.CFileName);
  end;
  SysUtils.FindClose(SearchRec);
end;
