OnCdDrivesEvents event

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Remarks

 

Occurs when an event related to a CD drive occurs.

 

This event replaces the usage of the CallbackForCdDrivesEvents delegate and is only intended for usage with applications developed using Visual Basic 6 (which results unreliable when dealing with delegates and callbacks) and, in order to be enabled, requires a call to the COMEventEnable method with the nEventType parameter set to EVENT_TYPE_CD_DRIVE.

 

For further details about callback delegates see the How to synchronize the container application with the API tutorial.
