Directory Information Record

The Finder manipulates the fields in the directory information record, which is a data structure of type DInfo. Your application shouldn't have to check or set any of these fields directly.

TYPE DInfo =
      RECORD
         frRect:     Rect;    {folder's window rectangle}
         frFlags:    Integer; {flags}
         frLocation: Point;   {folder's location in window}
         frView:     Integer; {folder's view}
      END;
