Moving files with large file names into Recycle Bin

[avalain]

Hi, I am trying to delete files programmaticall y and put them in the
Recycle Bin. I am using SHFileOperation and everything works fine,
except when I try to delete files with more than 10 characters in the
name (not including the extension). So if the file is named
"testerfile.jpg " it will work. If the file is named "testerfiles.jp g"
it will not. However, if the file is named "testerfiles.jp g" and I try
to delete "tester~1.j pg", it will work as well. This looks like how
MS-DOS used to work, except with 10 characters instead of 8.

Is there any chance there is a flag or something that needs to be set?
I am currently using FOF_ALLOWUNDO and FOF_NOCONFIRMAT ION flags. Any
help in this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Oop, so I figured it out! One thing that I hadn't seen on these posts
before is that a null character is required at the end of the file
name. So I had to do this:

shf.pFrom = @"c:\testerfile s.jpg" + "\0";

Hopefully this helps someone in the future.
