I'm writing a utility that needs to be aware of media (CD, DVD, Zip
disk, usb stick, etc) insertions and removals. Which seems to be more
of a problem than I original imagined.
I can't use any auto-run features because this is actually running on
Windows XP Embedded... so that's the first thing to be aware of.
Using WM_DEVICECHANGE works about half the time...that is, it works when
a DVD or CD is inserted, but it does not work for Zip disks, usb sticks,
etc.
I looked into the Removable Storage Manager, or RSM, but the
descriptions for it on MSDN changes enough that I'm not 100% that it is
applicable. I'd write a test application but the definition is rather
deep and there seem to be some key elements missing from the documentation.
So...essentiall y is there a sure fire way to detect insertion and
removal of all types of removable media?
Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Everyone,
I am writing a program to perform backup operations using the VB scripting
File System Object to copy to removable media storage devices. The backup
operation works fine, but when we attempt to remove the backup device, we
often get a "Delayed Write Failed" error message, indicating that data was
cached and the copy was not actually finished before device removal.
The problem now is how can we guarantee that all data is...

How can a WndProc be created inside a component?
Currently I have a WndProc in my frmMain. It looks for WM_DEVICECHANGE
messages for connection and removal events for a USB/Serial device. My
frmMain uses a component to communicate with a USB/Serial device. I would
prefer that this component handle the WM_DEVICECHANGE messages internally
and only fires events to my frmMain when my USB device connects or
disconnects.

pythonically tell if that item is on 'removable media', or sometype of

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
