Hello,
I am writing form based application which is displaying list of files in a list box. I want the user to be able export these file to CD on clicking of button.

I just want windows to display default message where user will be informed with popup message in system tray for files waiting to be written to CD as it does normally when we drap drop files on CD drive under XP environment.

How we can do it?

Thanks.

Except that this is not what the OP is asking about...

In this case you can probably use SHFileOperation to instruct the shell to copy files to the CD (In the same way this can be used to copy files to zip).

To find the drive (need to change this a little because it's now specially for fixed drives):

Thanks Nijboer and Dave,
I think I have to use ICDBurner interface to do my job. I got something over here http://www.vbaccelerator.com/home/VB/Code/Libraries/Writing_CDs/Simple_CD_Burn/article.asp

I am trying to understand it.

Thanks.
