Problem with SHFileOperation

I have a simple function to copy a file.

If I call this with the following paramerters...

psFrom = C:\123456789012 34567890.abc
psTo = C:\123456789012 34567890.xyz.ab c

The TO file ends up being C:\12345678.abc

Any ideas?

Thankd

RichardF

Here is the function...


Public Function DoFileCopy(psFr om As String, _
psTo As String, _
Optional piFlags As Integer =
FOF_NOCONFIRMAT ION +_
FOF_SILENT +_

FOF_FILESONLY) As Long
Dim FileOp As tSHFILEOPSTRUCT
Dim lRet As Long
lRet = clErcOK
On Error GoTo AnError
With FileOp
.wFunc = FO_COPY
.pFrom = psFrom
.pTo = psTo
.fFlags = piFlags + FOF_ALLOWUNDO
End With
lRet = SHFileOperation (FileOp)
DoFileCopy = lRet
Exit Function
AnError:
DoFileCopy = Err.Number
End Function

I don't know why your filename is being mangled, but is there any reason
you're not using the classes in the System.IO namespace?

Imports System.IO

File.Copy(psFro m, psTo)

Oops, wrong newsgroup!

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 am working on problem of coping folder. I am using Windows XP/VB.Net 2003 I know how to do it with FileSystemObject, but I would like to have copy dialog between operation like it is in windows explorer. Is it possible to do this with System.IO (framework)? I tried to use SHFileOperation(SHFileOP), but something is wrong.

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...
