I want to show some additional info in file properties dialog in Windows for some specified types. For example, add new tab "Summary" for *.txt files and show there number of words, number of lines, etc.
I can use C++ and C#. But file summary is collected by .NET library, so I'd prefer to delegate this task to .NET to the extent possible.
Click the File tab. Click Info. Click Properties at the top of the page, and then select Advanced Properties.
You can add or modify properties using the Details pane in an Explorer window, the Details tab in the Properties dialog box, or in some Save As dialog boxes. If you want to remove some or all of the property information in a file, you can quickly remove it using the Properties dialog box.
The Properties dialog box lets you override various properties for a file when it is installed on the target system. To open the File Properties dialog box: 1. In the View Bar / View List under Application Data, click Files and Folders.
To access the properties of a file or folder, right-click on it and select Properties.
