Getting Title, Subject from Summary windows into Strings

[chrispybee]

Please can someone help me out here, I'm trying to Get the Title, Subject from File Summary into Strings

Your question raises more questions than answers. What are you asking? Could you be more detailed?

OK. This is what I want.

Using Windows 2000 > WinXP you can right click a file, select the summary tab and here you have Title, Author and other kinds of information.

I know how to execute the above but I want to extract the title, author, version and other information from the file.

You will only be able to get this information on Win 2K or above because it's stored within the NTFS bit, structured storage. I've found a Delphi sample code but I cannot fully convert this to VB.

I hope that this answers any question about what I'm after.

Thank you for taking the time to read this
