How are you calling ShellExecuteEx()? Is the message from your program or the other?

I'm working on a bit of code that manages files and directories with operations such as copy, delete, archive to removable media, etc. If the program encounters an error while performing one of these operations, I want to be able to give the user some information as to the nature of the error, such as file not found, directory not found, access failure, invalid path, etc.

However, many of the functions I'm using, such as SHFileOperation, return only "successful" or "unsuccessful", and I can't find a way to get any information on the nature of the error on an "unsuccessful" return. Any ideas?

~~See GetLastError()[^]~~.

I was wrong - this won't help.

Where is it documented that SHFileOperation() uses GetLastError()?

It isn't. I incorrectly assumed SHFileOperation() called SetLastError().

SHFileOperation already informs the user of any error, unless you use the FOF_NOERRORUI flag in your request.

Is there any documentation on what error messages SHFileOperation uses? I've tested the function a few times without the FOF_NOERRORUI flag, and it can sometimes return unsuccessful without displaying any error message.

help with some date/time input pls

I don't see it documented, but you might find something in one of these articles:

SHFileOperation always returns OK[^]

CShellFileOp - Wrapper for SHFileOperation[^]

SHFILEOPSTRUCT and the SHFileOperation[^]

In any case, I suggest you use other more documented and flexible alternatives, like CopyFileEx, MoveFileEx, etc.

See CTime() - specifically CTime::GetCurrentTime().

What does the compiler say?

nneodeath wrote:

CTime is an MFC class. To instantiate one, use:

CTime time;

To construct one with the current date and time, use

CTime time = CTime::GetCurrentTime();
