File & Directory Copy

http://ranvik.net/totalcopy/

This particular app is cool. How does a Directory's files get stored. Do you think he does a list of the contents with an absolute path, counts the items for the progress bar, then goes through the list using a batch command like xcopy c:\re.txt d:\car\ /h/e/k/s or something.

I'm thinking of doing a samilar program, where the %1(directory) will be passed to the program, then it determines the files,etc but how would one specify the paste directory?

is anything above making Sense?

yes actually i am currently working on a program like it(a copier i call MAD-Copy)
it is one of my nice progz it is really cool its not done yet im working with the installer and fixing some graphics etc...
To copy folders, my program gets this list of all subfolders in a folder, and loops through all folders with that command by getting the subfolders of the subfolders etc....
It stores the directory paths in an array list and then copies the files folder by folder.
It is nice i will show u a sneak preview of what i have done in this screenshot attached

We're BEST FRIENDS as from NOW :)

Are you gonna sell it or something, if so will you refer me to the site that guided you, that is similar (90%) to what I want to Make. Very Smart Design by the way.

Forgot to mention, why are there 2 Progress Bars? Does the 2nd one show the Previous File Copied already?

LOL sell it?
KEWL i am a 15 year old that made a sellable a program!
AND I MADE PALS WITH A PROGRAMMER!
is it legal for me to sell it? how do i sell it? how much money can i get out of it?
I will let you buy it and sell it and give me 55% ;)
the top progressbar shows overall percentage of the folder being copied,
the bottom progressbar shows percentage of the current file being copied
the look rocks but here are the problems i am running into:
1)I am using a registered animation ocx and i dont know if others can use it
2)My prog uses up 30mb of memory but works fast and from what i read from a thread that is not the real memory usage. It does not slow down MY computer anyways.
3)I made it on 800x600 screen resolution and it looks different on other screen resolutions
e.g. when it is maximized, only 1\4 of the screen has controls on it

That is why i am thinking of doing 2 things:
1)putting a notifyicon and not showing it in the taskbar
2)making it fixed not sizeable

I did learn a few tricks with the installer though. I put a code so that it puts some registry shell commands so that when u right click a folder u can "Copy with MAD-Copy"
Also i put desktop shortcuts and i registered fonts WITHOUT PUTTING THEM IN FONTS FOLDER using the installer.

Tx for liking my prog

If you Aint Selling it, Share it with us (thats What I meant Earlier) :)
I Still cant find the Code here or on another Forum for the Copy iteration.

You used a For each in the statement Right?

The Resizable part can be found in the Forms properties, Under the Grid = Fixed3D and allow Resize = False, I Think - But i'm 100% Sure its a Property Setting.

i know about the resizable part but thx anyway
for the code, do use a for next statement and make it loop itself by declaring the same statement all over again for each folder and subfolder etc...
and make the whole sequence initiated by a thread so ur prog doesnt stop responding
i will post the code but not yet when i finish it with the setup
i will post the setup first and then after my prog is rated i will put the code

OK Then, I'll Put a Reminder for Calling you in two Weeks Time...

Who's Gonna Rate it? Where will you Post it?
