Windows File API Samples Part 2: CopyFileEx

Problem: You need to copy file with process bar showing.

Solution: You can leverage the progressRoutine with CopyFileEx().

Sample Code:

#include "common.h"

using namespace std;

DWORD CALLBACK progressRoutine(
	LARGE_INTEGER TotalFileSize,
	LARGE_INTEGER TotalBytesTransferred,
	LARGE_INTEGER StreamSize,
	LARGE_INTEGER StreamBytesTransferred,
	DWORD dwStreamNumber,
	DWORD dwCallbackReason,
	HANDLE hSourceFile,
	HANDLE hDestinationFile,
	LPVOID lpData
)
{
	SYSTEMTIME end;
	GetLocalTime(&end);
	LONGLONG msecs = subtract(&end, (SYSTEMTIME*) lpData);
	cout << TotalBytesTransferred.QuadPart << "/" << TotalFileSize.QuadPart  << " bytes copied in " << " " << msecs  << "  ms ...." << endl;
	return PROGRESS_CONTINUE;
}

int _tmain(int argc, TCHAR** argv)
{
	if(argc<3)
	{
		_tprintf(_T("usage: copyfile source dest\n"));
		return -1;
	}

	BOOL b = FALSE;

	SYSTEMTIME begin;
	GetLocalTime(&begin);

	//fstream debug("debug.log", fstream::in | fstream::out | fstream::app );
	//debug.open("debug.log", ios::app);

	Debugger debugger;
	debugger.logBegin(COPY_FILE);

	BOOL result = CopyFileEx(argv[1], argv[2], &progressRoutine , &begin, &b,  COPY_FILE_FAIL_IF_EXISTS);   

	debugger.logEnd(COPY_FILE);
	debugger.close();

	cout << ( result?"success":"failed" ) << endl;

	return 0;
