Afraid not; as with most questions like this, you need to go and do some research into what features are available and how you can implement them to solve your problem(s).

What are you trying to accomplish? ...this question is not clear. If it's a plain storage disk drive, and you're trying to read/write to it, it's the same as reading and writing to any file on your C:\. You just have to specify the full path of the files. The IO is handled by the drivers.

What do you want to do though? Are you trying to write to it? Do you not know what logical drive was assigned to it? Be more specific.

Have you tried ReadFile()?

it means open it with CreateFile?

what parameter pass here for file name like \\.\driveletter: or anything else.

when i CreateFile using "\\.\driveletter:" and ReadFile than its return 0 and getlasterror is "The Parameter is incorrect".

and when i open it as physicaldrive its give "the device is not ready"

so now waht can i do?

and also tell me how can i diffrentiate this from other drive.

please guide me.

thanks.

You can create status bar by calling

m_wndStatusBar.Create(WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|SBT_OWNERDRAW,
    CRect(0,0,0,0), this, 0);

You can have a look at Toolbar & StatusBar on Dialog[^]

Menu items disabled but appear enabled

I am disabling some menu items based on a condition but after some dialog launch in the application, these menu item appearance changes to those of enabled.
However, when I click them their appearance changes to that of a disabled button. I can also do this by simply switching focus or simply by minimize-restore of application.
Why does the menu item change appearance? How can I prevent that from happening?

David Crow29-Feb-12 9:56

Is this an MFC application? How are you disabling the menu items? From where, and how, are you launching the dialog box?

Re: Menu items disabled but appear enabled

cpp_prgmer29-Feb-12 10:56

29-Feb-12 10:56

Yes this is a MFC application which works similar to the CProperty sheet wizard style but with CDialogs.
I am disabling the menu items in the frame class when the first dialog appears at start of the application but somewhere in between when other dialogs come up the appearance of the disabled menu items is changing from disabled to enabled.

To enable/disable menu items it is best practice to use the ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI message.

It also best practice to use a SDI (with a CFormView) application if menus are needed.

Watched code never compiles.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
