Recursive Folder Copy Function?

[djperry]

Is there a way to recursively copy a folder (including all sub-folders and files)? I see there is a Folder.DeleteTree, so maybe there is something like Folder.CopyTree(String source, String destination)? Or if there isn't a direct way to do this, could someone suggest a way I might implement this myself using existing functionality? I am running version 7.5.1004.0.

Found it

I found the code that appears to be working well here https://www.indigorose.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6797

Sorry about that.

theme and extension to the C: \ Windows \ Resources \ Themes want to copy into

if CopyFolder ("AutoPlay \ \ Docs \ \ Milan", "C:\\Windows\\Resources\\Themes") == 0 then
result = Dialog.Message ("Theme Applied", "Personalize your desktop, right-click and select the theme, saying.", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
end

Where is the problem?

I use version 8 but as far I know the function "CopyFolder" does not exist.

The function to copy folder contents is File.Copy (<source>, <destination>, <recurse subfolders>, and other options...).

Because File.Copy does returns nothing, you should use Application.GetLastError () to determine whether this action failed, and why.

So, your code should be:

File.Copy ("AutoPlay\\Docs\\Milan", "C:\\Windows\\Resources\\Themes\\*.*", true);
if Application.GetLastError () == 0 then 
   result = Dialog.Message ("Theme Applied", "Personalize your desktop, right-click and select the theme, saying.", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
end

Don't forget that "Any folders in the destination path must already exist when performing this action, or an error will result."
