Re: SHFileoperation question

Here's some routine i've used in a distributed application.

The move operation depends on the path.
If the path contains only a folder then you're moving a folder
If the path contains a filename, then you're moving a file etc...

As Igor mentioned, you need 2 nuls at end of paths.
( the method MoveFolder below adds the second. )


....
#include <string>
using namespace std ;
....

BOOL MoveFolder(string &from, string &to)
{
string f(from);
f+='\0';
string t(to);
t+='\0';

SHFILEOPSTRUCT fo;
ZeroMemory(&fo, sizeof(SHFILEOPSTRUCT));
fo.wFunc = FO_MOVE;
fo.pFrom = f.c_str();
fo.pTo = t.c_str();
fo.fFlags = FOF_SILENT|FOF_NOCONFIRMATION|FOF_NOCONFIRMMKDIR;

if( SHFileOperation(&fo) != 0 )
return FALSE;

return TRUE;
}
