Unplug or Eject Hardware APIs
-
Hi All, Anyone knows how to safely "Unplug or Eject Hardware" without having to click that green arrow icon on the system tray? I want to write an application using some window API to do it. Normally that icon appear when i plug in my USB storage. I have searched the web, some people use DeviceIOControl to eject, but it doesn't really remove the device as when i click the icon and "Stop USB Storage Device - Drive G:" Can anyone enlighten me please? I refuse to believe that i cannot do this using some window APIs... Thanks!!

You will need the DDK to get the docs, headers, and libs. The relevant functions are
