Title: How to copy a folder with files inside
Question: How can I copy a folder that has files and subfolder inside it?
Answer:
This is how it is done:
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
Fo : TSHFileOpStruct;
buffer : array[0..4096] of char;
p : pchar;
begin
FillChar(Buffer, sizeof(Buffer), #0);
p := @buffer;
StrECopy(p, ''C:\MyDir\*.*''); //this is folder that you want to copy
FillChar(Fo, sizeof(Fo), #0);
Fo.Wnd := Handle;
Fo.wFunc := FO_COPY;
Fo.pFrom := @Buffer;
Fo.pTo := ''C:\DestinationDir''; //this is where the folder will go Fo.fFlags := 0;
if ((SHFileOperation(Fo) 0) or (Fo.fAnyOperationsAborted false)) then
ShowMessage(''Cancelled'')
end;
This is my first article so i hope that i come in useful.
