renaming a directory?

[will1383]

Hi all, I'm trying to programmatically rename directories. Anyone know how to do this in MFC? I'm looking around, and I don't see an easy, quick, straight forward method. Any help is greatly appreciated. I know I need to get the normal path and such, but how the heck do you rename it without axing the stuff in the directory? Thanks! Dan Willis

All you should have to do is use ::MoveFileEx(OldFolderName, NewFolderName, 0). There's nothing built into MFC that I'm aware of to do this. This doesn't kill the contents of the folder. It would probably be safest to use absolute paths for each paramter. If something in the folder is in use, you can specify a flag for the 3rd param to wait until reboot. -pete

If I am not mistaken then you should be able to get away with MoveFile, MoveFileEx or MoveFileWithProgress. Good Luck.
