Copy dialog implementation in VB

Visual Studio180
I am using the File System Object in VB to copy large

files from one folder to another. Is it possible to use

the familiar Windows file copy dialog to indicate this

ongoing action instead of just a blank form and hourglass?

If not, how could a progress bar be incremented in this

situation? Any help is appreciated.

go to groups.google.com">groups.google.com and search for shfileoperation for samples of

using the API



there should be good samples at vbnet.mvps.org/">vbnet.mvps.org/ but it does not

seem to be responding at the moment (it let me in but when I tried to do a

search it never came back and I can't connect again now)
