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

Yes, that's a limitation. If you can't figure it out from the registry,
possibly in combination with the results of FindFirstStore/FindNextStore,
then you can't do it. There's no way that Windows CE enforces drivers to
indicate whether they are based on PSM or not! Windows CE knows nothing
about PSM, anyway; it's just another mass storage driver to it.

Yes, I did check FindFirstStore/NextStore. But I was not able to recognize
which one is SD card (with the name displayed by device) and which one is
FFS.
I checked all the variables of STOREINFO structure, but couldn't get the
name and type of the storage. evertime API was saying the same DeviceType
for
everthing found.

You should have a look at FindFirstStore/NextStore.

our users don't care what "PSM" is).

Hi Robert,
Acctually I was using the same way to detect SD card and I got the
success
too .. :) This is a tricy way to find out SD cards ...... this formula
may
fail some where ....I dont know where ....
So I was looking for some solid way to detect SD card and getting its
name
...
Same way I am find the name of IPSM .. I am looking for any directry
whish
hase TEMPORARY attribute .... And then filtering with the name of
Flash
File
Store, PSM, or any string containing FFS ... So here are chances too
that
my
code may fail on some specific hand held device which have IPSM with
another
name ....

Thanks for the reply :)

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 ???
I use FindFirstFile and relatives to look for the name of the root
folder, but that can vary. So I check for names that begin with
"IPSM", "Storage_", "Storage", "CF Card", "SD Card", and "Memory
Card". I don't check the whole string because the name can accumulate
a number (e.g., CF Card 2) if one card replaces another, or even if
one card is removed and reinserted.

For at least some, newer, platforms, FindFirstFlashCard will find
storage cards, but I don't use it. And I wonder whether it will find
IPSM.



Thanks a lot .
