Copy a file

Hello!

Does anyone know how to copy a file with progress indicator (percent, bytes complete...)?

Zvonko

Sure you can.
progressBar.Max = FileLen(MYFILE)
MYCHUNK = 500
Take chunks of a file, say 500 Bytes at a time, Set the ProgressBar.Value = ProgressBar.Value + MYCHUNK
and then write that chunk to antoher file
Put it in a loop and you're ready.

If you want the code just reply, I'm in hurry

:)

Try this. Make a Form with a CommandButton, CommonDialog, Label and ProgressBar and put the following code into the Form.

Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()

    Dim Source As String
    Dim Dest As String
    Dim Data As String
    Dim TransferRate As Integer
   
    CommonDialog1.CancelError = True
    CommonDialog1.Filter = "All Files|*.*"
    CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
   
    If Err <> 32755 Then
   
        Source = CommonDialog1.filename
        Dest = Source & " - Copy 2"

        Open Source For Binary As #1
        Open Dest For Binary As #2
       
        ProgressBar1.Max = FileLen(Source)
        TransferRate = 1024
       
        Do Until LOF(1) = Loc(1) Or EOF(1)
            Data = ""
            If LOF(1) - Loc(1) < ChunkSize Then
                Data = String(LOF(1) - Loc(1), 0)
            Else
                Data = String(ChunkSize, 0)
            End If
            Get #1, , Data
            Put #2, , Data
           
            Label1.Caption = Loc(1) & " bytes out of " & LOF(1) & " transfered"
            If ProgressBar1.Value + TransferRate > FileLen(Source) Then Exit Do
            ProgressBar1.Value = ProgressBar1.Value + TransferRate
           
        Loop
       
    End If
   
End Sub

you will be asked to search for the file in the CommonDialog. When you find it, it will copy it as yourfilename - Copy2. When it's copying, it will show the status with a Label and the ProgressBar.

Thanks, guys!
You're sooooo gooood!!!
I don't know what would I do without you... ;)
