I have a program that I wrote some time ago in Delphi that I am translating into B4J. It is a small utility that modifies filenames. It is easy enough to convert the code except for the following line :
I know nothing about Windows System programming - I simply copied this line from the internet without understanding how it works. The code causes any open File Explorer window to be updated, so showing any filename changes.
How can I replicate this action using B4J? I assume that there is no direct equivalent in Java. Would it be possible to invoke a batch file to achieve the same end, in which case how would I run the batch file and what would it contain?
My tentative backup plan is to write a "one-line" Delphi program and try to run that from B4J, although I am not sure how to handle repeat invocations.
Thanks for any advice.
