Coping a Folder

[minckle]

Is there a way in delphi v5 to Copy a Folder from 1 place to another.

I know you can copy files but how do u coopy a whole folder

Thanks

There is no copyfolder command but you can do this.

use MkDir(nameoffolder); to make a new folder where you want it.
Then copy all files to the new folder.
use findfirst and findnext with *.* parameter to get all the files in the folder, if there are subfolders it gets more complex, there have been some recent posts on this subject.

Have a look in this thread thread102-963082
But you will have to develop these examples to get the names of sub folders as well as the files.

thanks to Bill Gates, you can simply do this with the explore shell API functions, here's a site with code that uses this :

you can change the behaviour of ShFileOperation through the SHFILEOPSTRUCT Structure, here's the MSDN link if you want more info about it :
