Title: Get all drives on a system without a TDriveComboBox
Question: This code shows you how to get all logical drives on a system without having to add a DriveComboBox to your application.
Answer:
//This code returns a list of logical drives on any system
//Use this code for quicker results than iterating through
//a DriveComboBox.
function GetListOfLogicalDrives: TStringList;
var
lpDrives: array [0..500] of char;
lpStrTmp: string;
iiDCount, iiResult: integer;
begin
Result := TStringList.Create;
lpStrTmp := '';
iiResult := GetLogicalDriveStrings(500, lpDrives);
for iiDCount := 0 to iiResult do
begin
if lpDrives[iiDCount] #0 then
begin
lpStrTmp := lpStrTmp + lpDrives[iiDCount];
if Length(lpStrTmp) = 3 then
begin
Result.Add(lpStrTmp);
lpStrTmp := '';
end;
end;
end;
end;
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
ListBox1.Items := GetListOfLogicalDrives; //Puts drives in listbox//
end;
//If you wanted to get each drive's icon(s) (to add to a TListView)
//you can use the SHGetFileInfo api call. (in shellapi.pas)
//If you wanted to filter certain types of drives you can use the
//GetDriveType api call.
//Both of these API's are well documented in Delphi, as well as on
//the MSDN (msdn.microsoft.com)
