Enumerating through local drives

[JBAK_CP]

Hi, I am looking for some information on how to enumerate through the list of available drives on the local machine to be displayed to the user. I remember coming across something similar on CP sometime back, but I am unable to locate it now. If someone could point me in the right direction on where to find some sample code or demo progs., it would be greatly apperciated. I am going to be doing this in VC++ (2003), MFC, on Windows. Thanks

Have you tried GetLogicalDrives() or GetLogicalDriveStrings()?

Try something like this:

// VanillaConsole.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//
 
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
int main()
{
DWORD mask = GetLogicalDrives();
for (char letter='A'; mask!=0; mask=mask>>1, letter+=1)
{
if (mask & 1)
{
cout << letter << ":" << endl;
}
}
 
return 0;
}
