Is it possible to change the icon title and path of a shortcut in ShortcutListCore from code. ? If such thing exists, it would be a great relief for me. I don't want to "reinvent the wheel" everytime.

**Note: here changing means, changing the icon title and path without any user interaction. I don't want to popup an dialog box to choose the icon.

You mean something else than the "Accept File DragDop" option that exist in "Attributes" ->"Others" submenu?
Using this option when drag a file on the shortcut, this will take automatically the name, icon and the path of the file...
Now for make further modifications (specific icon and name) I'm afraid that you have to use settings window..

This may be helpful digigamer, it is two sections of the code I use to drag shortcuts from one core or location to another.

COPY
var StartIcon = "!SetIcon=" + eval(MoveStartCore).icon;
eval(MoveEndCore).cmd(null, StartIcon); // copy the icon from start to end

var StartPath = "!SetPath=" + eval(MoveStartCore).path;
eval(MoveEndCore).cmd(null, StartPath); // copy the path from start to end

var StartDesc = eval(MoveStartCore).displayName;
eval(MoveEndCore).displayName = StartDesc; // copy display name to end
Setvalue(MoveEndCore + ".displayName",StartDesc); // set display name in ini to preserve capital letters

PASTE
eval(CoreToEdit).cmd(null, CopyIcon); // paste the icon
eval(CoreToEdit).cmd(null, CopyPath); // paste the path
eval(CoreToEdit).displayName = CopyDesc; // paste the display name
Setvalue(CoreToEdit + ".displayName",CopyDesc); // paste the display name in ini to preserve capital letter
eval(CoreToEdit).param = CopyPara; // paste parameters to end
Setvalue(CoreToEdit + ".param",CopyPara); // set parameters in ini

Sorry meme, your code wasn't of much help to me... My requirements are for the ShortCutListCore. And don't worry i accomplished it with that hack i wrote about above.

Hi digigamer
Of course you said ShortcutListCore not Shortcutcore, my mistake
I tried using the ShortcutListCore for a launchpad type widget but could not work out how to control the position of shortcuts in the list so they appeared at certain locations, not sorted automatically without gaps between, I know you can move them but you can not space them as far as I can see. In the end I used may Shortcutcores in fixed positions, then code allows you to drag and drop the content of one Shortcutcore to another in a different locations, this allows you to arrange the shortcuts however you like and they stay in that position.

I got a working launchpad like widget out of shortcutlistcore... Infact most of my widgets are based on that!
