Rajko,
What are you doing that requires refreshing Explorer?
Have a look at SHChangeNotify I suspect that's most likely what you
need.

I'm working on program for renaming files. And when I rename file
"small.txt" to "SMALL.txt" Windows Explorer does not refresh window.
So, I want to send refresh message to Windows Explorer window. Or better
Windows Explorer list control.
But I dont know hoe to obtain WE handle. :-(

This is interesting.
First I tried SHChangeNotify( SHCNE_RENAMEITE M, SHCNF_PATH, OldFileName,
NULL);
well... items renamed just dissapeared .... (on F5 they reaper renamed)
Then I found solution thx to Dave :
SHChangeNotify( SHCNE_RENAMEITE M, SHCNF_PATH, OldFileName, NewFileName);
BTW I was convinced that I need to use PostMessage() and got stuck with it.
Thanks, Dave.

I noticed strange behaviour.
When I use it on max 5 files at once it works (all 5 files are updated),
but with 6 files nothing happens (not even one file is updated)?!

It could be fixed with SHCNF_FLUSH flag but it slowes down process much.
Flag SHCNF_FLUSHNOWA IT does not work since it is closed loop and message
loop can not process sent messages.

Doesn't the whole folder get updated - eventually?
Here's a quote from an old post on the subject by Raymond Chen [MS]
about the multiple notifications issue:
"If you send a lot of file update notifications, they get combined
into a single "directory update" notification, and Explorer refreshes
the entire directory - so the operation still succeeds; the items you
sent notifications on did get updated. (as did a bunch of files that
you didn't send notifications on, but no harm done there)
"
.... so if this isn't happening, it's presumably a bug/quirk in the
shell. Which OS versions have you tested with? Are all OS's behaving
the same?

Well, I Win XP pro v2002 SP1 and all updates available from SP2 on windows
update site.
Got .NET framework 1.1.
I tested od dir C:\Tmp\Test 100 and I heve there files:
copy (10) of empty.txt
copy (11) of empty.txt
copy (12) of empty.txt
copy (13) of empty.txt
copy (14) of empty.txt
copy (15) of empty.txt
copy (16) of empty.txt
copy (17) of empty.txt
copy (18) of empty.txt
copy (19) of empty.txt
copy (20) of empty.txt
copy (21) of empty.txt
_cczsd.asd
_cczsd.qwe
the last two have Croatian letters for test purpose.
If I update first 5 copy... they are updated, but when I try first 6
nothing.
I use flag SHCNF_FLUSHNOWA IT in every call and only every 5th SHCNF_FLUSH
which wait for shell to process messages. That is only way it works.
I tryed renaming 400 files "copy of..." and they were only 400 in that dir
just with SHCNF_FLUSHNOWA IT and nothing happened after renaming to UPPERCASE
letters. When I pushed F5 it was all there, renamed.
Rajko.
PS I will test it on few other machines and then post message here.

Hello All,
I'm working on a web app that will simulate a Windows app.
One of the items that I've trouble reproducing is the parent/child

In a Windows app, I can add a handler in the Parent to respond to the

If FormMain = MDI parent, FormSub = Child parent,
I execute FormSub from the menu like this way.
FormSub^ sub = gcnew FormSub;
sub->MdiParent = this;
sub->Show();
This can generate child form sub in FormMain.
In th FormMain, there is status bar label named statusBar;
I'd like to add code in the sub form that can access statusBar of parent

Is there a way to decouple the linkage between a parent and a child
window?
Does the parent window have any sort of a collection that holds all the
children that it has spawned?
I want to break that connection from the parent side or the child
side, it doesn't matter as long as the communication link is completely
broken. I don't want the parent to be aware of the child and
vice-versa.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
