RE: How to get SD card/IPSM name ??

Hi Rahul,

the registry key ([HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\...])
doesn't tell you if a card is present or not, it does tell you however what
the name of the folder should be if a card is present. So once you find out
the name of the folder from that registy key, you can then do a search in the
root directory (e.g. FindFirstFile() API) to see if the card is present or
not. Again, this registry key is just a way of finding out what the name of
the folder must be if a storage card is pesent.

best regards

Hi Rahul,

under Windows CE, normally the names of the SD Card / MMC card / USB
stick... folders are stored in the registry under the key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\...]

eg:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory]
"Folder"="Storage Card SD"
...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\MMC]
"Folder"="Storage Card MMC"
...

It might be a possibility for you to retreive these names using the registry
API and then do a FindFirstFile() or something along these lines. For further
information about the registry key or the registry API you can consult the
Platform Builder help.

Hi,
In my application I have to detect programmatically SD card (if inserted)
and IPSM (if available in the device). I am using FindFirstStore,
GetStoreInfo, FindNextStore APIs but not getting the names of SD card and
IPSM.
Is there any other way to detect and get the name of inserted SD card and
IPSM ???

Thanks a lot …
