Enumerating Drive Letters

I have a method of getting drive letters but I don't like it. You see, we currently do a listbox, hidden. We call SendMessage(hTempList, LB_DIR, DDL_DRIVES | DDL_EXCLUSIVE, (LONG)(LPSTR)"*"); and then get the strings out of the list box. I HATE that solution and I was hoping someone could give me something better.

I think GetLogicalDriveStrings() will do it. So never mind.

Glad to be of service.

I know you have cracked it, but here's a way to simply get the drive letter as a char;

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
#include <windows.h>
#include <cstring>


int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{ 
        const char* szLookup = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
        DWORD dwBits = GetLogicalDrives();
        const DWORD dwMask = 1;


        for(int i = 0;i < strlen(szLookup);i++){
                if(dwMask & dwBits)
                        cout << "Found Drive " << szLookup[i] << endl;
                dwBits >>= dwMask;
        }       
       
        return 0;
}
