Objects only accepting 1st parameter arguments?

[SmOke_N]

I was working on another project not related to the example script below, when I ran across an issue using FO/FOF constants and CopyFile.

Searching the forum I found a couple of examples that used both FOF and CopyFile:

That being based on Jos's:

I just need to know if I'm losing my mind, or if the 2nd parameter for CopyFile is not doing its job here and it possibly being a bug.

I used this script below to show the issue of the 2nd parameter not working, with $FOF_RESPOND_YES, you should not get a confirmation diealog to overwrite anything on the 2nd pass of _FileCopy()

$Source = "FooBar"
$Dest = "BarFoo" ;-)

For $i = 0 To 9
    $dummy = FileOpen(@ScriptDir & "\" & $Source & "\" & $i & ".txt", 2)
    FileWriteLine($dummy, $i)
    FileClose($dummy)
    For $k = 0 To 999
        $dummy = FileOpen(@ScriptDir & "\" & $Source & "\" & $i & "\" & $i & "-" & $k & ".txt", 10)
        FileWriteLine($dummy, $i & $k)
        FileClose($dummy)
    Next
Next

MsgBox(64, "1st copy", "Should go smooth, we didn't ask for a progress, but lets assume it's by default.")
_FileCopy(@ScriptDir & "\" & $Source & "\*.*", @ScriptDir & "\" & $Dest & "\")
MsgBox(64, "Info", "2nd copy, with $FOF_ you aren't supposed to get a confirmation dialog.")
_FileCopy(@ScriptDir & "\" & $Source & "\*.*", @ScriptDir & "\" & $Dest & "\")

Func _FileCopy($fromFile, $tofile)
    If FileExists($tofile) = 0 Then DirCreate($tofile)
    Local $FOF_RESPOND_YES = 16
    Local $FOF_SIMPLEPROGRESS = 256
    $winShell = ObjCreate("shell.application")  
    $winShell.namespace($tofile).CopyHere($fromFile, $FOF_RESPOND_YES)
EndFunc   ;==>_FileCopy

This was tested on:

XP Pro SP2 32bit

XP Pro SP3 64bit

XP Pro SP3 32bit

Vista Ultimate 32bit

AutoIt Versions:

3.2.10

3.2.11.1

3.2.12

Edit:

Just for the record, I'm not looking for a DLLCall alternative, I'm sure I could come up with something, I am just looking for confirmation on parameter(s) not accepting/invoking the commands. Unless you have a fix for the above specifically (parameters), please don't post alternative Non-COM methods.

I remember something about having this issue but only when using WildCards as Source/Target filename.

Thanks Jos, ... truth be known, I didn't even notice the wildcards (that's what being up to late does I suppose).
