need help in using FindFirstVolume() API
Please support our C++ advertiser: Intel Parallel Studio Home
Thread Solved |
i wrote a code to get hard disk info and used FindFirstVolume(). however, the console-based application was ok but when i made an MFC application doing the same thing, it did not compile correctly. i think the problem is with my redeclaration of _WIN32_WINNT in the MFC application. this is because there are header files in the MFC application that already assigns the value of _WIN32_WINNT and i can't seem to find all of the header files that do this.

What is the error? You can always redifine _WIN32_WINNT as per your target OS
I know I am. Therefore I am.

what definitions and header files did you include? i encounter this error "FindFirstVolume: identifier not found..." in my MFC app.

I looked here
Then I created a MFC-application with unicode with MFC in a shared DLL, and used FindFirstVolumeW as recommended by MSDN.
I'm using a precompiled header, but I have _WIN32_WINNT defined in stdafx.h. So there is no need to redefine it in your sourcecode.
