I have a wpf applicatin that shall detect the addition and removing of an usb stick and give me the drive name. at the moment I have this:
protected override void OnSourceInitialized(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnSourceInitialized(e);
// Adds the windows message processing hook and registers USB device add/removal notification.
HwndSource source = HwndSource.FromHwnd(new WindowInteropHelper(this).Handle);
if (source != null)
{
IntPtr windowHandle = source.Handle;
source.AddHook(HwndHandler);
UsbNotification.RegisterUsbDeviceNotification(windowHandle);
}
}
// Convert to the Drive name (”D:”, “F:”, etc)
private string ToDriveName(int mask)
{
char letter;
string drives = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
// 1 = A
// 2 = B
// 4 = C...
int cnt = 0;
int pom = mask / 2;
while (pom != 0)
{
// while there is any bit set in the mask
// shift it to the righ...
pom = pom / 2;
cnt++;
}
if (cnt < drives.Length)
letter = drives[cnt];
else
letter = '?';
string strReturn;
strReturn= letter + ":\\";
return strReturn;
}
/// <summary>
/// Method that receives window messages.
/// </summary>
private IntPtr HwndHandler(IntPtr hwnd, int msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam, ref bool handled)
{
if (msg == UsbNotification.WmDevicechange)
{
switch ((int)wparam)
{
case UsbNotification.DbtDeviceremovecomplete:
Usb_DeviceRemoved(); // this is where you do your magic
break;
case UsbNotification.DbtDevicearrival:
DEV_BROADCAST_VOLUME volume = (DEV_BROADCAST_VOLUME)Marshal.PtrToStructure(lparam, typeof(DEV_BROADCAST_VOLUME));
Usb_DeviceAdded(ToDriveName(volume.dbcv_unitmask)); // this is where you do your magic
break;
}
}
handled = false;
return IntPtr.Zero;
}
// Contains information about a logical volume.
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
private struct DEV_BROADCAST_VOLUME
{
public int dbcv_size;
public int dbcv_devicetype;
public int dbcv_reserved;
public int dbcv_unitmask;
}
private void Usb_DeviceRemoved()
{
//todo something
}
private void Usb_DeviceAdded(string strDrive)
{
//todo something
}
so far this works fine, at least the detection of usb insert and remove.
But after I have insert the stick I need to know the drive name so that I can copy my files to the usb stick.
Unfortunately ToDriveName returns and '?' as drive letter.
I also tried this:
private string ToDriveName(int Mask)
{
int i = 0;
for (i = 0; i < 26; ++i)
{
if ((Mask & 0x1) == 0x1) break;
Mask = Mask >> 1;
}
char cLetter= (char)(Convert.ToChar(i) + 'A');
string strReturn;
strReturn= cLetter + ":\\";
return strReturn;
}
then I get an E:\ instead of the G:\ G: is my USB stick and E is my DVD drive
In the debugger I have following values in volume:
dbch_Size 0x000000d2
dbch_Devicetype 0x00000005
dbch_Unitmask 0xa5dcbf10
dbch_Reserved 0x00000000
Casting to DEV_BROADCAST_VOLUME
only makes sense when dbch_Devicetype
is DBT_DEVTYP_VOLUME
(2).
You need
if (volume.dbch_Devicetype == 2) Usb_DeviceAdded(ToDriveName(volume.dbcv_unitmask));
Strictly speaking, you should first use DEV_BROADCAST_HDR
, test the devicetype, and only when it is 2, use DEV_BROADCAST_VOLUME
.
