Hi,
i have a problem with with the GetDriveInfo() Function under 16 Bit.
Under win95/98/NT the function returns DRIVE_CDROM. So i can recognise
the right type of the drive.
Under Win 3.0/3.11 i get only DRIVE_REMOTE, which means the same as it
would be a network drive.
I assume that there is another function or trick, how to get the right
information, because the filemanager under Win 3.11 shows a CD-ROM Icon
for the CD-Drive.
Can anybody help me?
Ciao, and thanks in forward,
Ric
I'm not sure about this, but it's probably more involved than just a single
function call. Remember that the Windows 3.x API was developed before CD-
Drives became as popular as they are now (remember, Windows 3.x was shipping on
diskettes, not CD-ROM!). At that time, there wasn't really a compelling reason
to write a function that returned whether the remote drive is a CD-ROM.
I recall seeing some code that determined whether the remote drive was a CD-
Drive, but I can't remember where.
Regards,
