Re your evaluation: I'm really surprised by that, because it's trivial! See the
code below:
it generates a list of available drive letters without provoking any removable
drives. Tested
NT4 sp5, reported as working on everything from 95 upwards. See also
SetErrorMode()
for how to turn off critical errors.
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
printf("Hello World!\n");
char drvroot[10];
for(char ch = 'A'; ch <= 'Z'; ch++) {
sprintf(drvroot, "%c:\\", ch);
UINT i = GetDriveType(drvroot);
char *msg = NULL;
switch(i) {
case DRIVE_UNKNOWN: msg = "unknown"; break;
case DRIVE_NO_ROOT_DIR: msg = "not mounted"; break;
case DRIVE_REMOVABLE: msg = "removable"; break;
case DRIVE_FIXED: msg = "fixed"; break;
case DRIVE_REMOTE: msg = "remote"; break;
case DRIVE_CDROM: msg = "cdrom"; break;
case DRIVE_RAMDISK: msg = "ramdisk"; break;
default: msg = "(unexpected return: wierdness)"; break;
}
printf("drive %s is %s\n", drvroot, msg);
}
return 0;
}

Could someone from Sun please attempt to use the C code to
avoid the annoying system dialog box pop up in Win32? It's
eight months old! Would be nice if it could make it into
1.3.1 (or whatever is next).

This is ridiculous. Today is May, 2001 and this bug still
exists in 1.3.
What is wrong with you guys?

This bug makes it impossible to develop a professional quality GUI
that includes a "file explorer" capability (for selecting files,
etc.) without writing native code for Windows NT machines. Does
the Java team want people to develop complete applications in Java
or not?

I'm just about to write a "dir a:" runtime command and
parse the output to find out if a drive is ready to be
accessed or not. Crazy huh?
I DO NOT BELIEVE THERE IS NO WAY TO DO THIS IN
THE VM.
All the people who want to know if a drive is removable
or not.. who cares? The question is, is it ready or not?
Can you read files from it or do you need to prompt the
user to make it ready? Can't we do this ourselves or
control it???? arghhh [klonk - sound of me dying of
frustration]

I can't believe this STILL isn't supported. What in the hell do you people at Sun do all day? You've had almost a decade to do something about the file dialog bug and this feature request. Fix it NOW.

This really needs to be fixed. While it's probably technically an RFE, it's really just a plain bug. And it's an enhancement that probably could have been added in Oct 1999 (ie just over 6 years ago) when wrd02 listed the code to fix it. How about an isRemovable() call? Is available would also be useful. Seems like this would be easy.

This has been fixed and the dialog no longer pops up - see evaluation in bug 4089199.
