Not sure about getting the # of physical drives, but you can get the drive letters with GetLogicalDriveStrings(), then call GetVolumeInformation() to get the volume names.

TCHAR drive[] = "a:\\";
int NoDrives =0;
for (int i= 'A';i<'Z';i++)
{
drive[0] = i;
UINT type= GetDriveType (drive);
if (type !=DRIVE_NO_ROOT_DIR )
{
SHFILEINFO fi;
SHGetFileInfo (drive,0,&fi,sizeof
(fi),SHGFI_TYPENAME|SHGFI_DISPLAYNAME|SHGFI_SMALLICON|SHGFI_ICON );
// fi.szDisplayName; Partition or drive name
// fi.TypeName Type name
// fi.hIcon Index of the icon of the drive in the system
NoDrives ++;
);
};

This should work .

Er, how is that any different from GetLogicalDriveStrings()? and that still doesn't tell you how many physical hard drives are present.

COleDropTarget::OnDragOver(), windows ignores my DROPEFFECT_NONE

ohadp12-Oct-03 1:55

I'm implementing a window in which some parts are valid drop-targets and some arent.

I've read that if I return DROPEFFECT_NONE in OnDragEnter() I won't get any calls to OnDragOver(), so I always send back DROPEFFECT_COPY.

In OnDragOver() i perform my minute-logic and return any of the drop effects, including DROPEFFECT_NONE for which I expect a 'do not do this' icon to appear next to the mouse icon.

This doesn't happen to my regret, whenever I return DROPEFFECT_NONE windows treats it as if I didn't return anything, it keeps the previous cursor.

What am I doing wrong ?

Thank you very much

Possible to build static Libs with Ressources?

I have tryed to build a static library which includes a method to show a dialog (defined in a ressource file) The linker warning I get is:
GLAP.res : warning LNK4221: no public symbols found; archive member will be inaccessible

Guess that's why the dialog never shows up when I use the generated lib in in a project.
Does anybody know what's the problem?
Is it possible to build static libs with ressources like dialogs at all?

Thanks! Constantin

You can only have one resource block in an executable. The linker doesn't know how to link two compiled resources (.res files) together.

The way I've done it in the past is to include the library's resource file in the application's resource file. See how afxres.rc is included by the MFC wizard (View > Resource Includes in VC6).

How to read a file line-by-line?

Is there an easy way to read a file line-by-line, not using MFC? I looked at fread, ReadFile, and ofstream, but I couldn't find a "ReadLine" function in any of them.

Thanks!

Take a look at ifstream::getline and string::getline.

You can use getline()

#include <fstream.h>    

void main()
{
  char buffer[256];
  ifstream file;
  file.open("c:\\autoexec.bat", ios::in | ios::nocreate);

  if (file.good())
  {
    while(file.peek() != EOF)
    {
      file.getline(buffer,255);
      cout << buffer << endl;
    }
    file.close();
  }
  else
    cout << "error opening autoexec.bat" << endl;
 


 }

the default delimiter for getline is \n, see msdn for more details.

Hope this helps

One solution is std::getline().

string sInput;
std::getline(file, sInput);

Copy,Paste and Rename..Is This Possible??

Member 50926811-Oct-03 11:35

Is there any way (In code)from my MFC application to Copy,Paste and rename a file...such as an .exe file?

For example,lets say i have an imaginary .exe file in a folder called "Test".

I want to make a copy of test.exe,rename the copy(not the original)to test1.exe,and place it(or
copy it)to a folder named "Test1".

Is this at all possible?
Appreciate your answers.
Thanks.

CopyFile ( "C:\\test\\test.exe", "C:\\test1\\test1.exe", FALSE );

You just need to make sure the destination directory exists before making this call.
