How to sent file to recycle bin in delphi

30th June 2008

hi all delphi reader, today i want to share how to delete or sent files to recycle bin so after deletetion we can retrieve again the file.

Here’s a Delphi procedure that can delete a file with the ability to undo by sending the file to the “Recycle Bin. “Function bFileDelete” will return True if the operation was successful.

uses ShellAPI;
function bFileDelete(AFileName:string): boolean;
var    Struct: TSHFileOpStruct;
       pFromc: array[0..255] of char;
     Resultval: integer;
begin
   if not FileExists(AFileName) then begin
     Result := False;
     exit;
   end else begin
      fillchar(pfromc,sizeof(pfromc),0) ;
      StrPcopy(pfromc,expandfilename(AFileName)+#0#0) ;
      Struct.wnd := 0;
      Struct.wFunc := FO_DELETE;
      Struct.pFrom := pFromC;
      Struct.pTo := nil;
      Struct.fFlags:= FOF_ALLOWUNDO or FOF_NOCONFIRMATION or FOF_SILENT;
      Struct.fAnyOperationsAborted := false;
      Struct.hNameMappings := nil;
      Resultval := ShFileOperation(Struct) ;
      Result := (Resultval = 0) ;
   end;
end;

well hope that usefull for you all delphi readers.
