Is it NTFS or FAT32 ?

[SUF6NEWBIE]

do any of you gurus have a way within AMS5Pro of detecting
whether a fixed drive or partition's file system is NTFS or Fat32.

perhaps a registry entry or system dll function call.

any help much appreciated..

reason..need to warn user if a file to be created is > 4GB(fat32 max)
and drive is fat32

You can try this. It will return ERROR if it can't determine the file system type.

Sample Code

function GetFileSysType(sDrive)
	return DLL.CallFunction("AutoPlay\\Docs\\driveinfo.dll", "GetDriveFileSysType", "\"" .. sDrive .. "\"" , DLL_RETURN_TYPE_STRING, DLL_CALL_STDCALL)
end 

Dialog.Message("", GetFileSysType("C:\\"))

Both of us got hit.

Water levels are still high, but it is at least contained within the river banks now.


Glad to help.

Got this working...here's a tested lua file..just rename file ext to .lua
and import to a new prject or whatever..THANKS again WORM
Note: has been written as a GLOBAL function

enumerates all fixed drive-partitions.. with a little extra thrown in

download the DLL from Worm's post above...

might save someone a little time..
