GetVolumeSize Event

Fires when the OS needs information about the virtual drive's capacity and free space.

Syntax

class CBFSGetVolumeSizeEventParams {
public:
  qint64 TotalSectors();
  void SetTotalSectors(qint64 lTotalSectors);
  qint64 AvailableSectors();
  void SetAvailableSectors(qint64 lAvailableSectors);
  int ResultCode();
  void SetResultCode(int iResultCode);
  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};

// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal.
void GetVolumeSize(CBFSGetVolumeSizeEventParams *e);

// Or, subclass CBFS and override this emitter function.
virtual int FireGetVolumeSize(CBFSGetVolumeSizeEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

This event fires anytime the OS needs to retrieve the virtual drive's total storage capacity and free space, measured in sectors. The virtual drive's sector size is defined by the SectorSize configuration setting.

To handle this event properly, applications must set TotalSectors to the total number of sectors on the drive, and set AvailableSectors to the number of sectors that are available to the OS for storing filesystem objects.

The minimum drive size accepted by Windows is 6144 bytes (based on a 3072-byte sector, 1 sector per cluster and 2 clusters per drive). However, the class adjusts the minimum size to be at least 16 sectors (49152 bytes) to ensure compatibility with possible changes in future Windows updates.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource isn't available, security checks failed, etc.), set it to a non-zero value to report an appropriate error. Please refer to the Error Reporting and Handling topic for more information.
