[Visual C++ 6] File Transfer Dialog Box

[WiredUp]

OK, I haven't used C++ in years so please bear with me.

I have a line of code that looks like this:

CopyFile(argv[2], argv[3], false);

While the file is copying, I want it to display a dialog box to show the progress of the transfer. You usually see this in Windows Explorer when you're transferring large files. How can I get this to work?

Thanks.

You can use the SHFileOperation API to do the copy for you, and tell it to use a dialog.

Like I said, I haven't used C++ in years. What's wrong with my code? It keeps crashing.

		SHFILEOPSTRUCTA fop;

		fop.hwnd = NULL;
		fop.wFunc = FO_COPY;

		CString from = argv[2];
		from += "\ 0 \ 0"; //Double-null terminate? Is this how you do it? There's no spaces, but I put in the spaces so it would show up on the forums
		CString to = argv[3];
		to += "\ 0 \ 0"; //Double-null terminate? There's no spaces, but I put in the spaces so it would show up on the forums

		fop.pFrom = from;
		fop.pTo = to;
		fop.fFlags = FOF_NOCONFIRMATION | FOF_NOCONFIRMMKDIR | FOF_SIMPLEPROGRESS;

		SHFileOperation(&fop);

Try setting lpszProgressTitle.

Thanks! It works now.

But is there a way to get it to show a dialog but use the CopyFile() function instead?
