Hi all... how i can convert a Property name to a PROPERTYKEY structure (FMTID/PID) by the name?

Example:
From Registry i take: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\InfoTip

than in my case, the result is: "prop:DocTitle;Type;Size;FileVersion;FileTitle;ProgramDescription"

I have written a function to get sequentially property by property... so i have:
DocTitle
Type
Size
FileVersion
FileTitle
ProgramDescription

I want to translate the correspondent PROPERTYKEY structure (FMTID/PID) or otherwise translate this string to the correspondent replacement as Windows Explorer do.

Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
