Hello I am trying to write an App in which the user can pass a Variable from
a DriveComboBox to copy a file from a specific location. Getting the
copyfile setup is easy enough but I can't seem to get the variable inserted.
The destination will (usually) be the root so at this point I don't need to
worry about assigning a folder etc.
The error message I get is "Cannot convert 'AnsiString' to 'char *'" or
something to that effect depending on whether I try AnsiSting drive or char
drive.
Thanks for any help can send my way.
}
char drive; //I've also tried AnsiString with errors
drive = DriveCombo->Drive;
char *From = "C:\\Backup\\Data\\*.zip\0";
char *To = "E:\\\0"; // <-Need to be able to define the drive here
SHFILEOPSTRUCT op;
ZeroMemory(&op, sizeof(op));
//op.hwnd = Handle;
op.wFunc = FO_COPY;
op.pFrom = From;
op.pTo = To;
op.fFlags = FOF_NOCONFIRMATION;
SHFileOperation( &op);
}
