ICDBurn::GetRecorderDriveLetter method (shobjidl.h)

Gets the drive letter of a CD drive that has been marked as write-enabled.

Syntax

HRESULT GetRecorderDriveLetter(
  [out] LPWSTR pszDrive,
  [in]  UINT   cch
);

Parameters

[out] pszDrive

Type: LPWSTR

A pointer to a string containing the drive letter, for example "F:".

[in] cch

Type: UINT

The size of the string, in characters, pointed to by pszDrive. This value will normally be 4. Values larger than 4 are allowed, but the extra characters will be ignored by this method. Values less than 4 will generate an E_INVALIDARG error.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

If this method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Remarks

The drive whose letter designation is returned by this method is the drive that has the Enable cd writing on this drive option selected. This option is found on the drive's property sheet. Only one drive on a system can have this option selected.

If a recordable CD drive is present but that option has been deselected, the method will return an error code.
