Hi, I want to copy a large file (in order of gb) from a path and paste it to a predefined path. If I use filecopy command, the copying takes place within ahk process. Instead I want the traditional windows explorer copy paste process to copy and paste the files. Filecopy,%Sourcefile%,%Destination% I don't want ahk process to copy this large file and paste at the destination. Instead it should command the windows explorer to do the job just like when we press ^c + ^v.

1. C# File.copy

How do you display a progress bar within a gui. Tag: autohotkey. I have the progress bar displaying in a separate window, but cant get it to display in the same window as the Gui with text.

Ahk should simply state the large file and the destination to the windows explorer to copy and paste. Please suggest solutions.

@jNizm: robocopy is working. But I don't want the cmd prompt window to appear every time I copy the large file. Moreover, the progress can be seen only in the cmd window. Instead, it would be better if the traditional windows explorer copying window appears which will have the speed, progress etc details in it.

C# File.copy

When we press ^c (on the file) and ^v at the destination, this window appears. I want this operation to be automated by the ahk script.

Look at the following script. Say we pressed ^c on the large file, then execute this script: Fileappend,%Clipboardall%, 1.txt Sleep, 2000 Fileread, Clipboard,.c 1.txt When we press ^v at the destination, the copying window appears. The problem now is to find a way to automate pressing ^c and ^v. The script should perform this opearation on the specified large file and at the destination. @AfterLemon: No, this won't work.

There should not be any window openings, send key events etc which will not be so reliable. Above all, how can you select what file to copy in the above script? In the problem I've mentioned, we will define the large file, destination and the script should automate ^c on the large file and ^v process at the destination but should not open any windows, this should happen in the background, Just like Filecopy command does. Only here ahk process shouldn't copy the file but it should command the explorer to do so. I am struck at my earlier post in this topic, we can generate the clipboardall file of the large file by pressing ^c on the file, then I read the contents of the clipboardall file to the clipboard and then I pressed ^v at the destination. All I want is, the script should generate the clipboardall file of the large file, read into clipboard, paste at the destiination without send keys or opening any windows explorer windows. It should run in the background just like filecopy command.

Firstly, unless someone knows of a specific dllcall that can force explorer to accept parameters, this can not be done with the interaction between the two without using Send and/or using AutoHotkey built-in functions. In my script, you select the file you wish to copy to the destination, then hit windows+c to copy that file to the correct directory. Could work for building a repository of any misc items you might want stashed. You wish to have a background process.

That accepts parameters. SourcePattern The name of a single file or folder, or a wildcard pattern DestPattern The name or pattern of the destination that are defined within the script.

FileCopy, SourcePattern, DestPattern , Flag to run on command. Or at a specific interval. But not use AutoHotkey to complete this?

If all you want to see is a progress bar, you could build one in AHK, or, update a GUI at certain intervals. In what way do you think your request CANNOT be completed by AutoHotkey?

If you want AutoHotkey to do all the legwork and then pass ALL that information to Windows Explorer, I don't think that's possible. (or even reasonably worthwhile) If you think about it.

Explorer is an application (like autohotkey) that creates a thread that consists of a GUI and a FileCopy command. Previously you said. @jNizm: robocopy is working. But I don't want the cmd prompt window to appear every time I copy the large file.

Moreover, the progress can be seen only in the cmd window. Instead, it would be better if the traditional windows explorer copying window appears which will have the speed, progress etc details in it. When we press ^c (on the file) and ^v at the destination, this window appears. I want this operation to be automated by the ahk script.

In what way is it possible to see a window with all the speed, progress, etc information, without the window appearing? If you copy with the cmd window, you see results in the cmd window. If you copy in explorer, you see results in explorer.

Same thing with AutoHotkey, except you may want to build a GUI for it. You also say you want ^c, ^v to be automated by the script. My script does that.

Refine it if you wish, it's what you asked for.

Here is an alternative to UrlDownloadToFile: UrlToFile:= 'SaveFileAs:= AScriptDir. ' AHKInstall.exe' OverWrite:= True WinHttpObj:= ComObjCreate('WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1') WinHttpObj.Open('GET', UrlToFile) WinHttpObj.Send ADODBObj:= ComObjCreate('ADODB.Stream') ADODBObj.Type:= 1 ADODBObj.Open ADODBObj.Write(WinHttpObj.ResponseBody) ADODBObj.SaveToFile(SaveFileAs, Overwrite? 2:1) ADODBObj.Close For bigger files, using this this might be a bad idea, because the file will initially be downloaded into the RAM and only be moved to the disc, when the download finished.
