Using the Setup Toolkit's GetLocalHardDrivesList Function

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows version 3.1

SUMMARY

The subroutine GetLocalHardDrivesList() takes one parameter, szSymbol$. This parameter is used to specify a symbol name that will receive the hard drive list. The parameter is not a destination string for the return value. The correct way to use the function is to specify a symbol name, such as "drives", and then use GetSymbolValue() or GetListItem() with GetListLength() to obtain the local drive letters.

MORE INFORMATION

The following is a .MST script that demonstrates how to use this function:

'$include 'setupapi.inc'
'$include 'msdetect.inc'

    GetLocalHardDrivesList "drives"

    '' Obtain and display list of local hard drives.
    Drives$=GetSymbolValue ("drives")
    pause Drives$

    '' Cycle through list and display them one at a time.
    for i%=1 to GetListLength ("drives")
        pause GetListItem ("drives", i)
    next

    end
