  [in] IShellItem *psiDestinationFolder
);

Parameters

[in] punkItems

Type: IUnknown*

Pointer to the IUnknown of the IShellItemArray, IDataObject, or IEnumShellItems object which represents the group of items to be moved. You can also point to an IPersistIDList object to represent a single item, effectively accomplishing the same function as IFileOperation::MoveItem.

[in] psiDestinationFolder

Pointer to an IShellItem that specifies the destination folder to contain the moved items.

Return value

  1. Call IFileOperation::MoveItems to declare the source files or folders and the destination folder.
  2. Call IFileOperation::PerformOperations to begin the move operation.
