Solution
Use a JavaScript or VB call to delete a whole folder. The GuiXT
RemoveFile statement cannot be appilied to folders.
Example
1
The following JavaScript function
removes
the folder with the given name.
Attention:
-
The folder will be deleted with its entire
contents and any subdirectories
- The files cannot be restored via
the Recycle Bin
- No prompt for confirmation will appear
-
Placeholders + and * may be used to delete multiple folders
function
delete_folder(foldername) {
var fso = guixt.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
// folder exists ?
if (!fso.FolderExists(foldername))
return
" ";
//
delete folder
fso.DeleteFOlder(foldername);
return
"X";
}
GuiXT script:
CallJS
delete_folder
"C:\temp\todelete"
Example
2
The following JavaScript function
removes
files and subfolders with the given name, putting them into the Recycle
Bin.
function delete_file(foldername, itemname)
{
var shell =
guixt.CreateObject("Shell.Application");
var folder =
shell.NameSpace(foldername);
var item =
folder.ParseName(itemname);
item.InvokeVerb('delete');
}
GuiXT script:
CallJS delete_file
"C:\temp"
"todelete"
