DickG Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 I'm using _ExplorerCopy() with this code: expandcollapse popupLocal $SHFILEOPSTRUCT, $aFiles, $SourceStruct, $DestStruct, $iSourceList, $iLen $SHFILEOPSTRUCT = DllStructCreate("hwnd hWnd;uint wFunc;ptr pFrom;ptr pTo;int fFlags;" & _ "int fAnyOperationsAborted;ptr hNameMappings;ptr lpszProgressTitle") DllStructSetData($SHFILEOPSTRUCT, "fFlags", $FOF_NO_UI) $aFiles = StringSplit($Source, "|") For $i = 1 To $aFiles[0] $iSourceList &= $aFiles[$i] & Chr(0) Next $iSourceList &= Chr(0) & Chr(0) $iSourceList = StringToBinary($iSourceList) $iLen = BinaryLen($iSourceList) $SourceStruct = DllStructCreate("byte[" & $iLen & "]") DllStructSetData($SourceStruct, 1, $iSourceList) $DestStruct = DllStructCreate("char[" & StringLen($Dest) + 2 & "]") DllStructSetData($DestStruct, 1, $Dest) DllStructSetData($DestStruct, 1, 0, StringLen($Dest) + 1) DllStructSetData($DestStruct, 1, 0, StringLen($Dest) + 2) DllStructSetData($SHFILEOPSTRUCT, "hWnd", 0) DllStructSetData($SHFILEOPSTRUCT, "wFunc", $FO_COPY) DllStructSetData($SHFILEOPSTRUCT, "pFrom", DllStructGetPtr($SourceStruct)) DllStructSetData($SHFILEOPSTRUCT, "pTo", DllStructGetPtr($DestStruct)) DllStructSetData($SHFILEOPSTRUCT, "fFlags", $FOF_NOCONFIRMATION) DllCall("shell32.dll", "int", "SHFileOperation", "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($SHFILEOPSTRUCT)) ;Verify that file was copied. If FileExists($Dest) Then If $pStartup_log <> "" Then _FileWriteLog($pStartup_log, $CalledBy & ": Copied " & $Source & " to " & $Dest, -1);writes to end of file EndIf Else MsgBox(0, $ThisFunc, $Dest & " does not exist.") EndIf Return But when it finds a file or folder that doesn't exist on the backup drive, it still insists on asking for confirmation. Because I loop through a large array of files, I can't leave it run unattended in case it asks me to click OK. I was hoping that the $FOF_NO_UI param would prevent this. Is there a way to have it just copy without asking each time?
Terenz Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 $FOF_NOCONFIRMMKDIR? Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing is so gentle as real strength
LarsJ Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 I think FOF_NO_UI is the proper flag. Perhaps the problem is, that you are overwriting this flag with only FOF_NOCONFIRMATION in the line just before the DllCall.

Perhaps the problem is, that you are overwriting this flag with only FOF_NOCONFIRMATION in the line just before the DllCall. I will try this. I don't know anything about DllCalls, so I was just guessing. But I think you're right. I'll also try changing it to $FOF_NOCONFIRMMKDIR as recommended by Terenz to see the difference. I'll let you know how it worked. Thank you LarsJ and Terenz.
mikell Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 LarsJ is right From APIShellExConstants.au3 : Global Const $FOF_NO_UI = BitOR($FOF_NOCONFIRMATION, $FOF_NOCONFIRMMKDIR, $FOF_NOERRORUI, $FOF_SILENT)
DickG Posted April 5, 2015 Author Posted April 5, 2015 I think FOF_NO_UI is the proper flag. Perhaps the problem is, that you are overwriting this flag with only FOF_NOCONFIRMATION in the line just before the DllCall. OK, tried $FOF_NOCONFIRMMKDIR alone, then FOF_NO_UI. FOF_NO_UI is what I really needed. But the problem was exactly what you had pointed out. So I changed the param to match FOF_NO_UI. That's because I have no clue how to work with DLLs.

But when I tried to call _ExplorerCopy() from a different script, it now asks to create every missing file. It's calling the same _ExplorerCopy() in my UDF folder with the same params, etc. So I'm at a loss as to what causes ExplorerCopy to do that. Any idea?
LarsJ Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 I would recommend you to use _WinAPI_ShellFileOperation (AutoIt 3.3.10 or later) like this: #include <WinAPIShellEx.au3> Example() Func Example() _WinAPI_ShellFileOperation( "C:\WINDOWS\Temp\AutoIt\Source\tst01.au3", "C:\WINDOWS\Temp\AutoIt\Dest", $FO_COPY, $FOF_NO_UI ) ;Local $aFiles[3] = [ "C:\WINDOWS\Temp\AutoIt\Source\tst01.au3", _ ; "C:\WINDOWS\Temp\AutoIt\Source\tst02.au3", _ ; "C:\WINDOWS\Temp\AutoIt\Source\tst03.au3" ] ;_WinAPI_ShellFileOperation( $aFiles, "C:\WINDOWS\Temp\AutoIt\Dest", $FO_COPY, $FOF_NO_UI ) EndFuncI'm not getting any conformation dialogs. Neither when I copy a new file or overwrite an existing file in the destination folder. Do you have the necessary rights in the destination folder?

I was able to replace calls to _ExplorerCopy() with _WinAPI_ShellFileOperation and passing the same params, and I didn't get any confirms! Thanks much, LarsJ! Now I can go do something while I'm backing things up. Can you recommend a good tutorial on DLLs, pointers, indexes to pointers, DllStruct, and all that stuff for a newbie? I'm not a classically trained programmer like most of you guys. I am a self-taught "scripter." So I didn't get the classes on that stuff. When I look at what you guys can do with DLLs, I don't understand what's being done. So I'd really like to get some good insight into this. I've searched for tutorials, but none were basic enough.
