CopyResource Method

Copies a resource.

Syntax

QString CopyResource(const QString& qsResourceId, const QString& qsParentId, const QString& qsNewName);

Remarks

This method copies the resource specified by ResourceId to the folder specified by ParentId. The Id of the newly-copied resource is returned.

NewName specifies the name of the copied resource; if empty, the resource's original name is used. ParentId can also be empty, in which case the resource is copied to the root folder.

NewName must be no longer than 255 characters; may not contain /, \, non-printable ASCII characters, or trailing whitespace; and cannot be one of the special names . or ...

Note that copy operations for folders with greater than 500 children (counted recursively) are performed asynchronously; the server will return the Id of the newly-copied folder resource immediately while continuing to perform the copy operation over time. There is no way to monitor an asynchronous copy operation.

Error Handling

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.
