Retriving file progress

[Nobody/Anonymous]

Dear Forum,  I am trying to write a windows application that copies files from a CD.  How do I get the file progress of the installation? I'm using the CopyFile() function and I want a progress control to show progress.  How do I get the file progress of the installation?  I don't need a lot of code, but a few lines would be nice.  Thanks!

Hmm, one way I can think of doing this that may be actually faster than CopyFile() would be to use malloc() to build like a one meg chunk or something in memory, then fopen() the file, then fread() sequentlially. Each time you incremement progress bar. You can obtain a file's size by using my getFileSize() function. Observe...

// Returns the file size of pszFileName in bytes. -1 on error...
int getFileSize(char *pszFileName)
{
    // Variables...
    long lFileSize = 0;
    FILE *someFile;

    // Open the file...
    someFile = fopen(pszFileName, "r");

    // Check for error...
    if(!someFile)
        return -1;

    // Get file size...
    fseek(someFile, 0, SEEK_END);
    lFileSize = ftell(someFile);

    // Close stream...
    fclose(someFile);

    // Return file size...
    return lFileSize;
}

Good luck =)
