SHFILEOPSTRUCT and deletion ignoring or not the trash

[burgdavid]

(*Remark : this is not a question but a tip*)<br><br>I've implemented the deletion of files in my own develeopped file browser. For this, I use SHFILEOPSTRUCT and SHFileOperation. But as you may know, man can force real deletion of files (ignoring the trash) by pressing the shift key.<br><br>You should catch the state of the key shift to know if your application should really delete or not the files.<br><br>Set wFunc member to FO_DELETE, and construct a string containning filenames (this string contains '\0' between each filename and a double '\0' at the end) that you attach to pFrom. pTo member is ignored. You can set hwnd member to a real windows handle but you can also set it to NULL.<br><br>Then, set the FOF_ALLOWUNDO value of fFlags member to make the deletion moving files to the trash directory, or, if you want a real deletion, set fFlags to 0.<br><br>Note that if pFrom does not contain fully qualified path and filenames, this flag is ignored.<br><br>MSDN is not clear about this last value FOF_ALLOWUNDO. Now, it should be clear.<br><br>Have a nice day,<br><br>David Burg.
