CBDisk Configuration
The component accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.CBDisk Configuration Settings
| AsyncDeleteStorageNotifications:
Whether system broadcasts for virtual disk deletion are sent asynchronously.This setting specifies whether the WM_DEVICECHANGE broadcast is sent asynchronously (true) or synchronously (false) when the virtual disk is deleted using DeleteStorage.
By default, this setting is enabled, and the broadcast is sent asynchronously. This is typically sufficient, but applications may disable this setting if they find that Windows Explorer is still presenting virtual disks as available after they've been deleted (which may occur if the application exits immediately after deleting a virtual disk). | |
| DeviceChangeBroadcastsEnabled:
Whether the user-mode API broadcasts WM_DEVICECHANGE messages.This setting specifies whether the component's user-mode API should broadcast WM_DEVICECHANGE messages to top-level windows when necessary.
By default, this setting is enabled, causing the user-mode API to broadcast such messages. However, if the Helper DLL is installed, then it will also send such broadcasts upon being notified by the driver, causing a duplicate message to be sent; applications should disable this setting to prevent the duplicate broadcast. | |
| LoggingEnabled:
Whether extended logging is enabled.This setting specifies whether extended logging is enabled for this component; it is disabled by default.
Please refer to the Error Reporting and Handling topic for more information.
This setting's value is stored in the registry and is persistent; it requires administrative rights to be changed. | |
| SectorSize:
The sector size to create the virtual drive with.This setting specifies the number of bytes each "sector" on the virtual drive contains. This setting must be set to a value that is a multiple of 512, a power of 2, and not larger than 4096 (e.g., 512, 1024, 2048, 4096).
By default, this setting is set to 512; using a different value is not recommended. | |
| SupportSearchIndexer:
Specifies whether the driver must take additional measures to support indexing by Windows Search.The Search Indexer of Windows 10 has been recently modified in the way that Search Indexer stopped indexing virtual disks. This happens because of the missing mounting point when the disk is created.
This setting, when enabled, tells the driver to create a fake mounting point and use it to work around the Search Indexer bug. By default, this setting is disabled. Note: This property cannot be changed within events. |
