File Copy Animation(SHFileOperation)

[Jeong]

I use the SHFileOperation function to implement file copy animation.
But there's one problem.
There's files to copy in different directories.
For example, Files to copy exists in c:\test\a.txt and in c:\test1\b.txt, in this case, file copy animation disappears at the point of time that first copy is finished. And re-appears at the time that second copy starts.
How can I solve this problem?
Could anyone who know it let me know the way?
Thank you

You have to combine the sourcefiles and the destinations with a Nullchar.

Dim source as String
Dim dest as String

source = file1 & vbNullChar & file2 & vbNullChar & file3 & vbNullChar 'etc....
dest = dest1 & vbNullChar & dest2 & vbNullChar & dest3 & vbNullChar 'etc....

Then call the FileOp with
.pFrom = source & vbNullChar & vbNullChar
.pTo = dest & vbNullChar & vbNullChar

it should work.

Grzzz, Braniac.

I tried it. The file are copied, but the progress dialog does not show
up...What am I missing?

then try to set the .fFlags = 0

The same: files are copied, but no animation is shown. Thanks anyway.

Better seems:
.fFlags = FOF_NOCONFIRMATION And FOF_SIMPLEPROGRESS
However, I founded out:matter is, if files are light, I see no animation as
the operation ended before...If I add to copy array large files (over 10 mb), I will see the animation.
Thanks, and sorry for me not found it before.
