Trucos de Visual Basic 6.0 Borrar un fichero y enviarlo a la papelera de reciclaje

Crear un formulario y escribir el siguiente código:

Private Type SHFILEOPSTRUCT
hWnd As Long
wFunc As Long
pFrom As String
pTo As String
fFlags As Integer
fAnyOperationsAborted As Boolean
hNameMappings As Long
lpszProgressTitle As String
End Type

Private Declare Function SHFileOperation Lib "shell32.dll" Alias
"SHFileOperationA" (lpFileOp As SHFILEOPSTRUCT) As Long

Private Const FO_DELETE = &H3
Private Const FOF_ALLOWUNDO = &H40

Public Sub PapeleraDeReciclaje(ByVal Fichero As String)
Dim SHFileOp As SHFILEOPSTRUCT
Dim RetVal As Long
With SHFileOp
.wFunc = FO_DELETE
.pFrom = FileName
.fFlags = FOF_ALLOWUNDO
End With
RetVal = SHFileOperation(SHFileOp)
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
Recycle "c:\a.txt"
End Sub


El programa preguntará si deseamos o no eliminar el fichero y enviarlo a la papelera de reciclaje.

El parámetro .fFlags nos permitirá recuperar el fichero de la papelera si lo deseamos

Si eliminamos esta línea, el fichero no podrá ser recuperado.
