Hi,

You could use this example : http://www.developerfusion.com/show/4334/ and
arrange it to do an iterative search on the Directory ... But I don't see
the interest when we know all static methods in the Framework ?

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...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
