Programmatically copying a folder in MFC

[Ashman]

Hi, I need to know how to copy a folder and all the contents within to another location set by the user. Because the folders content is read only, I want to be able to make ReadOnly(FALSE); Is this possible, please help! Thanks in advance Ashman

SHFileOperation will help out, its very good api to work around with files and folder.

Thanks I searched for SHFileOperation() API calls and I don't understand how to implement it in my program. Do you have/know of an example that I can use. What I want to do is very basic; transfer 2 folders with all their files intact from location: D:\Programming\NeriedPOS\nbsSetup\nPOS & D:\Programming\NeriedPOS\nbsSetup\nManager to C:\Program Files\nPOS with ReadOnly(FALSE) Would you kindly be able to show me how to do that using SHFileOperation() or any other API? Please help...its kinda urgent considering I have almost run out of hair to pull :) Thanks Ashman

This

SHFILEOPSTRUCT shfo = {0};
shfo.wFunc = FO_COPY;
shfo.pFrom = "D:\\Programming\\NeriedPOS\\nbsSetup\\nPOS\\*.*\0";
shfo.pTo = "C:\\Program Files\\nPOS\0";
SHFileOperation(&shfo);

should get you started.
