DriveGetFileSystem

[omnomnom]

This is where a user inputs their drive, it then adds the :\ and get the filesystem. Here is the relevant code;

$driveletter = guictrlread($Input1)
$actualdrive = $driveletter & ":\"
$drivetype = DriveGetFileSystem($actualdrive)

and

case $Button2
    guictrlsetdata($Label1, $drivetype)

However it sets my label to be blank, can anyone help? thanks!

omnomnom,

What you have posted works perfectly for me. What does the rest of your code look like?

For example, is $drivetype a Local variable so that there is nothing to display when you try?

What about some more code, or trying to add some error checking?

I found the problem. I was putting the $ data at the beginning just after the GUI, not in the case section.

Thanks anyway guys.

Is there any way to make a dropdown menu with the list of current available drives?

This will give you a list of all the drives on your system ...

$alldrives = DriveGetDrive("ALL")
GUICreate("List")
$List = GUICtrlCreateCombo("",10,10)

for $i = 1 to ubound($alldrives) -1
    GUICtrlSetData($List,$alldrives[$i],$alldrives[1])
Next

GUISetState(@SW_show)

while 1
    sleep(50)
WEnd
