Copy Method

Description

Copies a specified folder from one location to another.

PowerBASIC Syntax

METHOD Copy ( _

BYVAL bstrDestination AS STRING, _

BYVAL bOverwriteFiles AS INTEGER _

)

Arguments

bstrDestination	BSTR. Destination where the folder is to be copied. Wildcard characters are not allowed.
bOverwriteFiles	Boolean value that is True (default) if existing folders are to be overwritten; False if they are not.

Remarks

The results of the Copy method on a Folder are identical to operations performed using FileSystemObject.CopyFolder where the folder referred to by object is passed as an argument. You should note, however, that the alternative methods are capable of copying multiple folders.

Example [PowerBASIC]

#INCLUDE "windows.inc"

#INCLUDE "scrrun.inc"

DIM fso AS IFileSystem

DIM pFolder AS IFolder

' Create an instance of the FileSystemObject

fso = NEWCOM "Scripting.FileSystemObject"

' Get a reference to the IFolder interface

pFolder = fso.GetFolder(UCODE$("C:\MyFolder"))

' Copy the folder

pFolder.Copy UCODE$("C:\MyNewFolder"), %FALSE

IF OBJRESULT = %S_OK THEN

MSGBOX "Folder copied"

ELSE

MSGBOX "Error &H2 & HEX$(OBJRESULT) & " copying the folder"

END IF
