I reported a different bug with GetVolumeInformation()… or at least I think it's a bug. See message 79238 if it's still around. (It should be.) I've continued to tinker with this and I can't get it to work. I've used both the GetLogicalDrives and GetLogicalDriveStrings to find the valid drives in the system, but when I call GetVolumeInformation, I get "no disk in drive" dialogs for each floppy drive, as well as any CDROMs that have once been mounted, but have been ejected. A deeper question – how does the Common Dialog get such nice volume names (including the \\xxx\xx network names)? (And why isn't there an easy function to get a Network button that we can add to any file dialog of our own creation?) I've tried all permutations of arguments to GetVolumeInformation, between NULLs and pointers to local variables. It looks like there hasn't been a Sysop visit here in days, our messages are still (X) flagged. Perhaps we can help each other. There is 1 Reply. Read action !
