ShfileOperation

I know that this is the API to use..is there a way to use it to delete an
entire directory instead of just a file?

ACK, 'SHFileOperatio n' is able to show a progress dialog during the
deleting process, line Windows explorer, but that's optional and maybe
not what the OP wants to do.

Hi All, I want to use SHFileOperation using Python and Win32 extentions, in order to move a file to the trash can. The function itself can be accessed by importing win32com.shell.shell. However, I cannot find anywhere the SHFILEOPSTRUCT. This structure is mentioned in the documentation of the Win32 extentions, but I can't find a way to access it. I would appreciate your help. If there's an alternative way to send a file to the trash can,...

I have a .NET component (VC++) with native C++ at it's core. The native C++ code makes a call to SHFileOperation to delete a directory and it's contents. When I host the .NET component in a VB app, and the SHFileOperation delete is called, the application hangs forever unless I have the "Enable Unmanaged code debugging" project setting on. Note the hang only occurs when I'm running the VB app through the debugger. What gives? Thanks...
