Question

I want to delete a file into recycle bin. I using this code.

    SHFILEOPSTRUCT FileOp;
    FileOp.hwnd = NULL;
    FileOp.wFunc=FO_DELETE; 
    FileOp.pFrom= lpFileName; //it's my value  \\?\C:\WorkFolder\qweqw.docx
    FileOp.pTo = NULL;
    FileOp.fFlags=FOF_ALLOWUNDO|FOF_NOCONFIRMATION;
    FileOp.hNameMappings=NULL;      
    int t_res = SHFileOperation(&FileOp); // t_res = 124
    return t_res;

What’s i doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

1. What is t_res, it should give the error code and suggest the reason
2. Note that pFrom takes files, not single file, so you should terminate the buffer with two zeros, see doc excerpt from MSDN:

Although this member is declared as a single null-terminated string,
it is actually a buffer that can hold multiple null-delimited file
names. Each file name is terminated by a single NULL character. The
last file name is terminated with a double NULL character (“\0\0”) to
indicate the end of the buffer.
