Using GetDriveType() I can determine that a logical unit is removable. How can I determine that is a CD/DVD unit? Or an USB drive?
In VC6++, please!

I don't know if this will help, but I found this on MSDN
GetDriveType<br />
<br />
The GetDriveType function determines whether a disk drive is a removable, fixed, CD-ROM, RAM disk, or network drive.<br />
<br />
To determine whether a drive is a USB-type drive, call SetupDiGetDeviceRegistryProperty and specify the SPDRP_REMOVAL_POLICY property.

You know what ? I followed the link just to see the title and I came on the article but which was translated into french. But, the translation was done by an automatic system (like babelfish) and of course it is full of mistakes. And of course you cannot find a link to get back to the original article  . What the hell !!
EDIT: just to give you an example for those who understand french, the title of the article is "Comment à obtenir d'informations de type de lecteur correspondant"

 You're on your own, my friend 
I'm just a C++ programmer - I don't understand this interweb thingy.

OK I lied - you're not on your own.
I took a look at the link. On the right is a dropdown listbox under "Article Translations"
or "Traductions disponibles". I selected the French translation, but being a stupid American, I
have no idea if there's mistakes or not
*edit* So I wonder what the ORIGINAL language was
Good luck!

Yep, I didn't see it first. But if I want to change the language it still "reminds" that you came on the english article and the list is... in english. And of course, there is no english in the list. You first have to select another language and then you'll be able to choose english

In fact I don't care I was just curious about the title and what a surprise when I saw the article in french. I just wanted to rant about it

Am I missing something? If my suggestion is a really bad one, which it may be, then please tell me why.

Just my first reaction. I don't have the CodeProject mind-reading unit yet.
Of all the possibilities for what kind of timer the OP wanted, that was probably the hardest
for a novice to understand.
I guess you knew what (s)he wanted.

Hmm... that's the only way I know how to work a timer, aside from GetTickCount(), but that button click event sounds like a good way too -- I didn't know about it.
|
|
|
|
|
The first timers I think of are multimedia one-shot/periodic timers or the window timers
created with SetTimer().

A c++ timer. I have NO idea what you just said =/

What kind of timer do you need?

You have a handler for button clicks.
In that you use SetTimer() to get your timer running.
Windows will call your OnTimer() function.
There you do whatever needs to be done.
Now you should have more than enough to look up!
Failure is not an option - it's built right in.

I'll be nice and get you started, but you figure out the rest --- that's why you're in school, to use your brain.
Create a new member function like OnStartTimeButton(). Then you create the stuff that goes into that function. Like keep a counter or some variable to check each time to either start the time or stop the time. Enough said.

I am trying to create a 4-bit bitmap from a 32-bit bitmap. Obviously this demands some sort of downcoversion from the 32-bit pixel values to the 4-bit values. I call GetDIBits with a PBITMIPINFO that is a 4-bit bitmap with a 16 color table. GetDIBits will do the downcoversion for me automatically right?

Yes.
I believe it creates the color table for you as well (based on the standard VGA palette according to the docs).
