  Directly reading/writing a HDD         


Author: galapogos
Date: May 6, 2007 20:44

Hi,

I'm writing a console program to directly read from and write to an
external USB HDD in sector level(so that I can access the drive w/o it
even being initialized/partitioned/formatted, and I'm wondering how to
get started. I've only done file level I/O before on directly
connected drives so I'm not sure how to identify the USB drive(USB
VID/
PID/serial number maybe?) and also how to address it directly. Are
there any primers for this to help me get started?

I tried playing around with GetLogicalDrives(),
GetLogicalDriveStrings() and CreateFile(), but these seem to work at
the logical level, so I don't know exactly which physical drive I'm
accessing.

Thanks!

  What An I Missing in This Custom Draw of TreeView.         


Author: Larry Lindstrom
Date: May 5, 2007 23:13

Hi Folks:

Developing on XP Media, with VC6, WIN32, no MFC.

A google of "*win32" groups with with "NMTVCUSTOMDRAW" in the
body came up empty. Search of any post to this newsgroup with
"NMCUSTOMDRAW" anywhere in the body also came up dry. Variants
on those themes were also empty.

And I'm having a bad day to.

Out of many listboxes, one always returns -1 to
SendMessage(..., LB_GETCURSEL, ...) after double clicking, and
out of 11 identical combo boxes that use the same function to
service their button clicks, one does the same in response to
CB_GETCURSEL.

I can't look at those anymore, I need to take my mind off of
them with a little custom draw on a treeview.

I do a lot of owner draw on listboxes and combo boxes, but
I'm not familiar with customdraw. So I've studied an MSDN
page on the subject.

I have the treeview setup to draw white text on a blue
backgroud. I want to reverse that for the selected item.
