SHEmptyRecycleBin Function

[_pi]

do you have an idea why i get error 'exception' when using empty string ?

from msdn:

pszRootPath
Address of a null-terminated string of maximum length MAX_PATH that contains the path of the root drive on which the Recycle Bin is located. This parameter can contain the address of a string formatted with the drive, folder, and subfolder names (c:\windows\system . . .). It can also contain an empty string or NULL. If this value is an empty string or NULL, all Recycle Bins on all drives will be emptied.

works:

Code:

Copy      Help

SHEmptyRecycleBinA hwnd "c:\" 1
SHUpdateRecycleBinIcon

works not:

Code:

Copy      Help

SHEmptyRecycleBinA hwnd "" 1
SHUpdateRecycleBinIcon

Code:

Copy      Help

dll shell32
,SHEmptyRecycleBinA hwnd $pszRootPath dwFlags
,SHUpdateRecycleBinIcon
def SHERB_NORMAL 0
def SHERB_NOCONFIRMATION 1
def SHERB_NOPROGRESSUI 2  
def SHERB_NOSOUND 4
def SHERB_QUIET 7

thanks

No, here works well.

it was because i used

Code:

Copy      Help

int hwnd=win("Program Manager" "Progman")

this is ok:

Code:

Copy      Help

int hwnd=win()

I tested with 0. To get desktop window handle for similar purpose, often is used GetDesktopWindow, but I don't know why it is better than 0.

i assigned it to middle click on the recycler icon on desktop.
no need for right click anymore
