DIR.Copy (Source, Dest) Freeze Problem

[DevConcepts]

Running the DIR.Copy (Source, Dest) process runs correctly however, it makes the program (GUI) unresponsive until copying is complete.

I have tried DoEvents(), Application.DoEvents(), Do While, and nothing will give control back to the GUI.

Any Ideas? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the information.
Checked out the C++ code of this function, and added a doevents to the copy function. So in the next version, it will be responsive.

Thanks! Any approximate release date for next version?

Also would the Q7 version have the same issue?

KBasic next version is planned around by 30-September.
Q7B has already doevents in such functions.

Grabbed the latest win version (v) and ran the code and the results are in.

To let the user know that the program is functioning, I added a progress bar with a timer running 0 to 100 reset to 0.

Works correctly (No freeze) while copying directories and small files, progress bar moves about the same speed.

Still freezes with large files ( 10-15 mb or larger can be noticed) being copied, the progress bar freezes then continues with the next file.

Still a better improvement, Thanks.

When will the linux version be available?

Add a timer to your app, which calls DoEvents().

@Bernd,

Add a timer to your app, which calls DoEvents().

Won't work Bernd, have tried The form timer properties and the timer control.

Well, looks like in this case a different thread would be needed, which is out of scope of KBasic causing much trouble to implement it. Sorry.
Running a small batch file to copy directories could fix it. Would be different processes...

<<When will the linux version be available?

The next weeks, after I upload Q7Basic for Linux.

Hi Bernd,

I'm working at a workaround, not with the File.Copy command and it's probably not the thing
DevConcepts is hoping/looking for but it works.
The base i have written is in the example 'FileCopy'.
If it's working at the way i want it to i'll upload it.

Have made a promisse.
File copy function with some extra's.
