How do I invoke the shell "file copy dialog" to report the progress of a copy in Win32?

Question

How can I copy files by invoking windows "copy files" dialog to do it?

SHFileOperation seems like a option, but it is inside our process.

By the way, does SHFileOperation have GUI interface? Is it exactly the same as the Windows copy dialog?

Answer 1

Yes, this is what the SHFileOperation function is designed for. It accepts an SHFILEOPSTRUCT structure as its only parameter, which you can use to specify the options that you want.

However, it has been replaced in Windows Vista and later versions with the IFileOperation interface.
