Warning

This item was deprecated in version 2019r2.1. Please use FolderItem.MoveTo as a replacement.

Description

Moves the FolderItem to the path specified by Destination.

Notes

It does a move rather than a copy even when the source file is on another volume. After the move, the original file no longer exists. See the example of MoveFileTo in the Examples section for FolderItem. Check LastErrorCode to see if an error occurred.

Sample code

This example uses MoveFileTo. The source file will be deleted and moved into the destination folder.

Var f, g As FolderItem
f = FolderItem.ShowOpenFileDialog(FileTypes1.Text)
If f <> Nil Then ' if the user didn 't cancel..
  If f.Exists Then ' if it is a valid file...
    g = Volume(0).Child(f.Name)
    If g <> Nil Then
      f.MoveFileTo(g)
      MessageBox("success!")
    End If
  End If
Else
  MessageBox("File not found!")
End If
