In an MFC application, the easiest way to copy a file from one directory to another?

Question

Should I create two CFile objects and copy them to another character by character? Or is there something in the library that will do this for me?

Answer 1

I would just use the CopyFile function of the Win32 API, but the sample code in CFile :: Open shows how to copy files using CFile (using almost the method that you suggest).

Answer 2

It depends on what you want to do. There are several ways to copy files:

• CopyFile ()
• CopyFileEx ()
• SHFileOperation ()
• IFileOperation (replaces SHFileOperation () in Vista)
