Rename a folder?

[Arrin]

Hello, is there any other function to rename folder as _wrename(old_name, new_name); Thanks for any help Arrin!

ShFileOperation (or IFileOperation ) is your friend. look at the documentation on MSDN.

Watched code never compiles.

[Nuri Ismail]

An alternative to SHFileOperation is using MoveFile[^] or MoveFileEx[^] APIs. These functions can rename either a file or a directory.

Try

MoveFile(LPCTSTR currentNameOfFolder,LPCTSTR newNameOfFolder);

Example:

MoveFile(_T("D:\\TestFolder\\RenameMe"),_T("D:\\TestFolder\\MyNewName"));

Hi, i forgot to say that this is a directory in a LAN? In this case, do i have to do the same, to use same function SHFileOperation for network operations??? When i tray to do this, i receive an error like this "Invalid File path"?? Thanks Arrin

[Emilio Garavaglia]

Beware to string escapes: LAN names like \\server\share\dir\file.ext should be "\\\\server\\share\\dir\\file.ext". It is one of the most common errors.

2 bugs found. > recompile ... 65534 bugs found. :doh:
