Recognising attachment to USB picture card reader

[beedubau]

I have an application I have developed which could be enhanced if I could recognise a card being plugged into a card reader much the same as Windows does it but my app would then offer options to the user.

Is there any code that provides this facility?

Thanks

Bryan

Bryan,

Use BINDEVENTS(). You can use it to detect Windows messages, which includes the insertion of USB devices. You'll need to read the Help for BINDEVENTS(), then research the specific messages that are relevant to this situation.

Thanks Mike and Ilyad,

I don't have the skills to unravel that interesting code - I am unable to isolate a USB connection.

Would there be a code snippet somewhere or a further clue?

Regards Bryan
