Delete Files with Delphi 1

[ZeeNer]

Im making a save/loading engine for one of my application... This one found all the *.save files and add it into a listbox... so you can save and load very fast... but i want to allow the suppression of save files in that interface... but i don't know the way to delete a file in delphi... i look in the help but i found nothing... so please help me ! (sorry for my english )

If you mean "delete a file" from the disk, you can use something like this:

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  if DeleteFile('c:\Delete.me') then
    ShowMessage('File Deleted')
  else
    ShowMessage('File NOT deleted');  
end;

If you meand "delete a file" name from a list box, you can use something like this:

procedure TForm1.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  i:integer;
begin
  i := ListBox1.Items.IndexOf('FileB.TXT');
  ListBox1.Items.Delete(i);
end;

If you mean something else, please post again with a more detailed explanation of what you need.

If you want also the Windows Shell support (Recycle Bin, Explorer like user interface, undo capabilities), you can use the SHFileOperation function found in ShellApi unit.
