i'm trying to get the volume name of the drive but can't seem to get it.

im trying the winapi GetDriveType; is that even doable?

There are several examples in the forum.

The reason may be missing backslash. MSDN says "A trailing backslash is required.". I did not use it in examples, sorry.

:oops:

Use function GetVolumeInformation.

Code:

Copy      Help

dll kernel32 #GetVolumeInformation $lpRootPathName $lpVolumeNameBuffer nVolumeNameSize *lpVolumeSerialNumber *lpMaximumComponentLength *lpFileSystemFlags $lpFileSystemNameBuffer nFileSystemNameSize

str s.all(100)
GetVolumeInformation "e:\" s 100 0 0 0 0 0
;out _s.dllerror
s.fix
if(!s.len) s="e" ;;not set
out s

sorry about that i put GetDriveType but meant GetVolumeInformation.

i just had a deja vu

and when you what to set a drive label:
set drivelabel and win rollup

i keep getting "Error in Macro: this name already exists." on GetVolumeInformation.

Probably it exists or existed somewhere as WINAPI.GetVolumeInformation or WINAPI2.GetVolumeInformation. Try to restart QM.
