hi. im using an API to calculate the free space on my hard disk. this is the line that i use to call the API: -

lngReturn = GetDiskFreeSpace(strDrive, lngSectorPerCluster, lngBytesPerSector, lngFreeClusters, lngTotalClusters)

where the value of strDrive is "C:/ ". the trouble is no matter what value i put in strDrive, i keep getting the same result for the rest of the parameters i.e 0,0,0,0. (ofcourse thats not right :mad: ) and since there isnt any error, i cant tell where the mistake is.

one more thing, is there an API viewer like application like the one available in VB 6 where we could copy the declaration code from the viewer window and paste it into the code?

How have you declared the API? does it work with "C:\"?
Click to expand...

nope stil doesnt
it doesnt even give me an error when i put in an empty string. just doesnt work. the declaration is as follows :-

Public Declare Function GetDiskFreeSpace Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetDiskFreeSpaceA" (ByVal lpRootPathName As String, ByVal lpSectorsPerCluster As Long, ByVal lpBytesPerSector As Long, ByVal lpNumberOfFreeClusters As Long, ByVal lpTotalNumberOfClusters As Long) As Long
