[RESOLVED] Progress bar when copying folders/files ?

Hello,

I found the code below on this forum and it appears to work great. When copying folders/files it does not show the typical window that shows pages flying through the air. All it shows is an hour glass. I would like SOMETHING that indicates the folders/files are being copied and SOMETHING that shows when it is done. Am I on the right track with the code below and can I add a progress bar for the code below?

Thanks!

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Private Type SHFILEOPSTRUCT
        hwnd As Long
        wFunc As Long
        pFrom As String
        pTo As String
        fFlags As Integer
        fAnyOperationsAborted As Long
        hNameMappings As Long
        lpszProgressTitle As String '  only used if FOF_SIMPLEPROGRESS
End Type
 
Private Const FOF_MULTIDESTFILES = &H1
Private Const FOF_CONFIRMMOUSE = &H2
Private Const FOF_SILENT = &H4
Private Const FOF_RENAMEONCOLLISION = &H8
Private Const FOF_NOCONFIRMATION = &H10
Private Const FOF_WANTMAPPINGHANDLE = &H20
Private Const FOF_CREATEPROGRESSDLG = &H0
Private Const FOF_ALLOWUNDO = &H40
Private Const FOF_FILESONLY = &H80
Private Const FOF_SIMPLEPROGRESS = &H100
Private Const FOF_NOCONFIRMMKDIR = &H200
 
Private Const FO_MOVE = 1
Private Const FO_COPY = 2
Private Const FO_DELETE = 3
Private Const FO_RENAME = 4
 
Private Declare Function SHFileOperation Lib "shell32.dll" (lpFileOp As SHFILEOPSTRUCT) As Long
    
Public Function CopyFolder(ByVal strSource As String, ByVal strDest As String) As Boolean
'=========================================================================================
Dim varFOS As SHFILEOPSTRUCT
    With varFOS
        .fFlags = FOF_NOCONFIRMATION Or FOF_SILENT Or FOF_NOCONFIRMMKDIR
        .wFunc = FO_COPY
        .pFrom = strSource
        .pTo = strDest
    End With
    Call SHFileOperation(varFOS)
    CopyFolder = (varFOS.fAnyOperationsAborted = 0)
End Function
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
    CopyFolder "c:\temp\test", "c:\temp\test2"
End Sub

you need to change the flags,

VB Code:

Public Function CopyFolder(ByVal strSource As String, ByVal strDest As String) As Boolean
'=========================================================================================
Dim varFOS As SHFILEOPSTRUCT
    With varFOS
 
     [COLOR=DarkRed] [B]  .fFlags =FOF_CREATEPROGRESSDLG[/B][/COLOR]
 
        .wFunc = FO_COPY
        .pFrom = strSource
        .pTo = strDest
    End With
    Call SHFileOperation(varFOS)
    CopyFolder = (varFOS.fAnyOperationsAborted = 0)
End Function

or you can have Various other choices if the dir already exists and you dont want confirmation to replace it then

VB Code:

.fFlags = FOF_NOCONFIRMATION

just use no flags and it give you a progress dialog and ask for confirmation etc.. all defaults.. like this,

VB Code:

Private Declare Function SHFileOperation Lib "shell32.dll" (lpFileOp As SHFILEOPSTRUCT) As Long
    
Public Function CopyFolder(ByVal strSource As String, ByVal strDest As String) As Boolean
'=========================================================================================
Dim varFOS As SHFILEOPSTRUCT
    With varFOS
         .wFunc = FO_COPY
        .pFrom = strSource
        .pTo = strDest
    End With
    Call SHFileOperation(varFOS)
    CopyFolder = (varFOS.fAnyOperationsAborted = 0)
End Function

Excellent! I was talking about a VB Progress bar...but this is all I really need and probably exceeds what I need. Great stuff! Thanks!

Guys .. pls help.

If I want "CopyFolder" to start from the current folder the program is in, how do I do it?
