Get Available free space for data file

When I go to Shrink a file, the screen shows me the currently allocated and
the free space available for the selected database. Is there a view or
system stored procedure that I can use to retrieve this information?
I am working with SQL 2005. I have been playing with the sp_spaceused
stored procedure but can't seem to get just the data file info.
Thanks,
Will this work with SQL 2000 also?
Thanks,

For SQL 2000; just enable the profiler and open the shrink file window from
enterprise manager. This will give the commands which executes
from backend.
Thanks
