Hi Chris,
This is somewhat related to my earlier post about determining the CD-ROM
drive(s) available on a Windows machine.
I'm thinking the best thing is going to be to take Mark's suggestion about
creating an external to call the WinAPI GetDriveType() function.
So my new question is has anyone done this already? If not, does anyone
have a shell sample project or something I can use to build the external?
I've got VC++, but it's been a really long time since I've coded anything in
C, and I've never created a dll, so I'm pretty clueless about how to do it.
I've downloaded the external SDK from RunRev, but it's pretty much not
helpful at all.
If anyone has done this and can offer any advice at all, I would be eternally grateful.
Once upon a time, there was a nice "External Collection" for MetaCard on the
old website of RunRev:
www.xworlds.com"
The win-version (EXT.dll) had exactly that functionality:
get cddrive() ## or something...
When it was new, it cost 49.95 bucks... Later it was free...
(BTW, these externals had been created by Tuviah Snyder! ;-)
But the "MetaCard" section (and the link to the external) has been removed recently
from that website... Now you find a link to "www.runrev" there ;-)
It looks like RunRev has already implemeted parts of these externals into the GUI/engine...
(Look into the folder "Revolution 2.x//components/global environment/" and you will find it there ;-)
Maybe they will implement THIS feature also into the GUI/engine at some time, who knows...?
This may not help much, but i think this is a quite interesting story :-)
Thanks,
