  [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

Type: IShellItem*

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

Return value

Type: HRESULT

If this method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Remarks

This method does not move the items, it merely declares the items to be moved. To move a group of items, you must make at least the sequence of calls detailed here:

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