hi, I was wondering how i could map a logical device letter to its physical device call ie. C: to physicaldevice1. I am using createfile to access the drives but i want to be able to tell what drive letter corresponds to each physicaldevice#
could anyone help me out?
thanks
Again, this has nothing to do with C++ and much to do with Windows programming, so next time, post in the Windows board. It's not hard.
sorry, is there a chance a moderator could move my post to there?
sorry
Moved.
cheers - wont happen again.
hopefully some guys from this forum will be able to advise me
thank you
You don't say what language you're looking for, but regardless I think you're looking to use WMI to do this. Here's a link on C# I googled up.
sorry i should have stated that, im looking to write it in c++. Ive seen the example on msdn but i can make it wok and it seems like a lot of code to do such a task
You mean you have seen this example and are looking for a more direct way to do the mapping ?
Your problem is solved then. Isn't it ?Quote:
i can make it work
sorry (oh my god could this post go anymore worng haha). No i have seen the example but I cant make it work, my typo there, sorry again. When I put that code into my command line compiler i get an error with the line
my compiler says undefined symbol '__in'Code:
__in PWCHAR VolumeName
You're not using Visual Studio I gather.
Well, these annotations are Microsoft extensions, so you should not use them.
