GetLogicalDriveStrings
The GetLogicalDriveStrings function fills a buffer with strings that specify valid drives in the system.
DWORD GetLogicalDriveStrings(
DWORD nBufferLength,
| // size of buffer
| LPTSTR lpBuffer
| // address of buffer for drive strings
| );
|
|
Parameters
nBufferLength
Specifies the maximum size, in characters, of the buffer pointed to by lpBuffer. This size does not include the terminating null character.
lpBuffer
Points to a buffer that receives a series of null-terminated strings, one for
each valid drive in the system, that end with a second null character. The
following example shows the buffer contents with <null> representing the
terminating null character.
c:\<null>d:\<null><null>
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is the length, in characters, of
the strings copied to the buffer, not including the terminating null character.
Note that an ANSI-ASCII null character uses one byte, but a Unicode null
character uses two bytes.
If the buffer is not large enough, the return value is greater than nBufferLength. It is the size of the buffer required to hold the drive strings.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error
information, use the GetLastError function.
Remarks
Each string in the buffer may be used wherever a root directory is required,
such as for the GetDriveType and GetDiskFreeSpace functions.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
