Windows-like copy files

[Patbcn]

Hi!

I just want to copy a file and have Windows to display the "Copying..." dialog with the progress bar and so while the file is being copied.
I winder if there is some API or so which allows me to do that automatically...

Thanks,
Toni

There isn't one are far as I know, but it shouldn't be too hard to make one. Maybe you could even make yours work properly :)

You can use the call back ability of CopyFileEx to determine speed.

lookup SHFileOperation api.

SHFileOperation is the one you want. It has options to move, copy, delete, etc. on files, and you can do sets of files and directories to perform the operation on. Best of all, you get the pretty Windows "Copying..." dialog.
