MoveFileEx equivalent
|
From: Ed Kramer on 23 Jun 2008 12:53 I need to be able to delete some files I've installed on a mobile 6.0 device. These files will likely be in use. On the desktop side I'd just use MoveFileEx with a MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT flag and be done with it. But kernel32.dll doesn't exist on the device so I can't just use that API. After several net searches I was wondering if there was an equivalent API on the mobile OS that will allow me to do the same thing. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
From: Peter Foot on 23 Jun 2008 15:19 I haven't seen an equivalent API, there is MoveFile for straight forward move and SHFileOperation to show the user progress while operating. What might work for your specific scenario is to place the files in a temporary location yourself and have your app called on startup to move them to their proper location. Whether this is appropriate depends on exactly what is using the files and when they are accessed.
