ceRemoveDir (Function)

In french: ceRepSupprime

Deletes a directory from the Mobile Device (Pocket PC) connected to the current computer.

Remark: The directory can be deleted only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

the directory is empty (except if the ceRecursive constant is specified).
the user has sufficient rights to delete a directory.
a connection is established between the current computer and the Mobile Device (ceConnect).

Example

// Delete a directory from the Mobile device connected to the current computer
ResDelete = ceRemoveDir("\MyFile\MyImages")
// Has a problem occurred?
IF ResDelete = False THEN Error(ErrorInfo())

Syntax

<Result> = ceRemoveDir(<Path of directory to delete> [, <Deletion indicator>])

<Result>: Boolean

True if the function was successful,
False otherwise. If an error occurs, you can get the details of the error with ErrorInfo.

<Path of directory to delete>: Character string (with quotes)

Full path of the directory that must be deleted from the Mobile Device connected to the current computer.

<Deletion indicator>: Optional constant

Deletion options:
ceReadOnly Also erases the read-only files and/or directories. If this constant is not specified, the function will return False if read-only files must be deleted.
ceRecursive The contents of directory and sub-directories are also deleted. If this constant is not specified, the directory must be empty in order to be deleted.

<Deletion indicator> is empty by default. No option is selected.

Remarks

ceRemoveDir and fRemoveDir have equivalent operating modes.

The only difference is:

ceRemoveDir deletes a directory found on the Mobile Device from a WINDEV application.
fRemoveDir deletes a directory found on the Mobile Device only from a WINDEV Mobile application.
