I have been investigating the implications of "resizing window via dragging frame edge ", so I have been pushing the limits, I will post separately regarding those findings.




Given
GetVolumeInformation lpMaximumComponentLength is 255 on NTFS, i.e. the max file/directory name is 255 chars
ZTree is UNICODE, and in many places uses the \\?\ Unicode syntax to manage files.

Then this works
In a directory that has a path length of 48
Accessing (reading) a filename in that directory that is 255 characters long (with path 304 characters), succeeds, so the UNICODE API must be in use.

But using ZTree to copy a file in that directory with name length=200 (with path 249, i.e. below MAX_PATH) to a name that causes MAX_PATH to be exceeded, causes the copy command to fail, so I presume that the Windows API is being used for that function.


ZEP:
The ZTree copy file command to use the UNICODE syntax, so that copies to destinations that are greater than MAX_PATH succeed.

Comment:
Could the reason for the use of the Windows API, be to get the progress bar feedback?


Thanks
