System file copying dialog box

Sometimes, setup programs shows the Windows file copy dialog, like this one:

enter image description here

This often appears during driver-level application installation, either on Windows XP or Windows 7.

Which API can perform that?

EDIT

Actually, there is no Cancel button at all on the real dialog box.

The Windows API SHFileOperation is declared as follows:

[DllImport("shell32.dll",CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)] static extern int SHFileOperation(ref SHFILEOPSTRUCT lpFileOp);

Specifying [In] for ref SHFILEOPSTRUCT lpFileOp prevents receiving the pointer to any remapped files in ref SHFILEOPSTRUCT.hNameMappings when FOF_WANTMAPPINGHANDLE flag is set.

The Windows API is called SHFileOperation. Its signature in C# language is 

[DllImport("shell32.dll",CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]
static extern int SHFileOperation([In] ref SHFILEOPSTRUCT lpFileOp);

If you like an example you could look at this page on PInvoke
This instead is the link to the MSDN documentation on SHFileOperation
