WM6 FindFirstStore/FindNextStore

Question

Hi!

I'm trying to use FindFirstStore and FindNextStore functions using Windows Mobile 6 SDK but I just can't get it right.
WM6 documentation says that the functions need storemgr.h and coredll.lib. However, they are not found in coredll.lib so I get a linker error. WM5 documentation says that those functions need storeapi.lib, but WM6 SDK doesn't include it.
What am I missing here?

Basically what I'm trying to do, is to get the available disk space on every drive present. If there is some other way to enumerate the drives, please tell me how...

Answer 1

Instaed of coredll.lib use Storeapi.lib and i think it will work proper for you.
Thanx

Answer 2

As I pointed out in my first post, there is no Storeapi.lib in the Windows Mobile 6 SDK.

And the documentation says that coredll.lib should have these functions. However, the doc seems to match the actual product as well as usual...

Thanks. That helped me a lot.

However, the solution given there seems quite hackish and non-standard (using undocumented functions etc.
But I'll do it this way unless anyone knows more standard way of enumerating the storages and getting the free disk space.

Since you have not the import library on hand, have you considered using dyamic loading?

//NOTE: no error checking
#include <storemgr.h>
//...
typedef HANDLE (*PFNFINDFIRSTSTORE)(PSTOREINFO);
typedef HANDLE (*PFNFINDNEXTSTORE)(HANDLE, PSTOREINFO);
//...
HINSTANCE hCoredll = LoadLibrary(_T("coredll"));
PFNFINDFIRSTSTORE pfnFindFirstStore = 
	(PFNFINDFIRSTSTORE)GetProcAddress(hCoredll, _T("FindFirstStore"));
	
PFNFINDNEXTSTORE pfnFindNextStore = 
	(PFNFINDNEXTSTORE)GetProcAddress(hCoredll, _T("FindNextStore"));
