Title: Getting a list of the available drives on a system
Question: Is there a fast way to get a list of the available drives on a
system?
Answer:
The following example demonstrates getting a list of the available
logical drives available on the system.
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
ld : DWORD;
i : integer;
begin
ld := GetLogicalDrives;
for i := 0 to 25 do begin
if (ld and (1 shl i)) 0 then
Memo1.Lines.Add(Char(Ord('A') + i) + ':\');
end;
end;
and the list of names:
var
Buffer: array[0..500] of char;
hChar: Char;
begin
GetLogicalDriveStrings(Sizeof(Buffer), Buffer);
hChar:= Buffer;
while hChar[0] #0 do
begin
ListBox1.Items.Add(hChar);
hChar := StrEnd(hChar) + 1;
end;
end;
