Detecting CD drive letters in the Win32 API...

[SyntaxBubble]

I would like to know how I would go about detecting CD drive letters using the Win32 API. If you could, please show me an example!

Thanks,
Matt U.

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

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

	for(int i = 0;i < strLookup.length();i++){
		if(dwMask & dwBits){
			strDrive = strLookup[i];
			strDrive.append(":\\");
				if(GetDriveType(strDrive.c_str()) == DRIVE_CDROM)
					cout << "Found CDRom " << strDrive << endl;
		}
		dwBits >>= dwMask;
	}

	return 0;
