browseforfolder, digital camera, driveletter?
-
I'm trying to target a digital camera (Canon DIGITAL IXUS 500) with a browseforfolder function, its visible in the browselist, but since its not and SFDIR like "My Computer" and "ControlPanel" it wont return any string other than NULL.(the browseforfolder function works with other usb devices since they return a driveletter). The camera inventory can be browsed with Explorer. So anyone know how to find the "driveletters" for these kinds of "drives" other than their names that shows in My Computer like "Canon DIGITAL IXUS 500" or "OLYMPUS SP-350"? maybe any workaround? or is this impossible? thanx!

How about
GetLogicalDriveStrings()?

thanks for reply. yes its a SHBrowse... sorry i meant FSDIR (filesys) FSDIR like in the SHBrowse... flag RETURNONLYFSDIRS i'll do some testing with GetLogicalDriveStrings() -- modified at 11:34 Tuesday 10th April, 2007 ..i've tried GetLogicalDriveStrings() but it doesnt show up with this either.. cycled through the drives with this code just to see what turned up: char szBuffer[1024]; ::GetLogicalDriveStrings(1024, szBuffer); char *pch = szBuffer; while (*pch) { //printf("%s\n", pch); GetDlgItemText(IDC_EDIT1, m_edit1); SetDlgItemText(IDC_EDIT1, m_edit1+"\r\n"+pch); pch = &pch[strlen(pch) + 1]; } i think that this canon camera is not a "Logical drive" its more of a hidden "device" that has no driveletter. Rightclicking on the camera -> properties in MyComputer returns that its plugged into port: \\.\Usbscan0 whatever that means? and how to use this is some way? also read somewhere that Canon cameras could be hard to "talk to" programmatically.. but that just maybe a matter of programming-skills. -- modified at 11:52 Tuesday 10th April, 2007

Have you looked into the Canon SDK? I've never used it but I hear it exists. I've only used TWAIN X| for Canon picture access.
