In first case, parameters are being passed correctly (I'm tracing those
variables). There is no problems with datatype conversion - I would be
getting something during compilation. O errors, 0 warnings. In both cases.
But only the second version works. First one does nothing. Just returns my
"Error" message.

What am I doing wrong ???

Thanks,

Put a break point on the unsnipped line above and check to see
what myFile.pTo and myFile.pFrom actually point to. That should
tell you where the problem lies.

I did. I even did something extra:

/.../
AfxMessageBox(myFile.pFrom);
AfxMessageBox(myFile.pFrom);
/.../

- right before calling SHFileOperation.

They both point exactly where I want to. The problem is - with that -
SHFileOperation doesn't want to work. It returns error message immediately
after executing and does nothing. And it's not just the problem of the
SHFileOperation(). I have identical situation with the CreateProcess()
function - to executing external commands. Exactly the same problem...

I did long a time ago. Not working either.

I just noticed this with regard to SHFILEOPSTRUCT:

pFrom
Address of a buffer to specify one or more source file names.
Multiple names must be null-separated. The list of names must
be double null-terminated.
pTo
Address of a buffer to contain the name of the destination
file or directory. The buffer can contain multiple destination
file names if the fFlags member specifies FOF_MULTIDESTFILES.
Multiple names must be null-separated. The list of names must
be double null-terminated.

From your original post, it doesn't look like you're double-null-
terminating your strings?


CreateProcess() can be a little weird to use, AIR. I found that
I needed to send NULL for the first argument and the whole command
line as the second. Do you have it working, *except* if you use
CStrings?
