You can't write a C++ program using VB 5. VB is for creating Visual Basic applications, not C++ programs.

While this is obviously impossible, a bigger question would be, why on earth would anyone use VB5 at all ? I mean, even VB6 is a dead language.

Try something like this in C/C++...
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
int vb = *system("VB5");
echo(vb->convert(150, "binary", "hexadecimal"));
}

Unfortunately, it's more like "mmm... money" right now, but I so hope to get back on track with it. It's profoundly more fun than web development IMO.

I'll second that. I suppose web dev could be worse (I'm not digging ditches at least), but it's not where my heart lies. I guess I need to win the lottery to hurry up and get back on track.

Is there a way to get the list of filenames that are copied? I have a need to keep track of all the file names that are copied using ShFileOperation.
Thanks

Off the top of my head, you could try the FindFirstFile()/FindNextFile() pair using the same file pattern passed to SHFileOperation().

You can use of a counter when you want to copy files.
