GetVolumeGUID Method

Retrieves the volume GUID of the device targeted by a filesystem operation.

Syntax

public String getVolumeGUID();

Remarks

This method can be called within events fired for filesystem operations to retrieve the volume GUID of the device targeted by the operation, returned in the Volume{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx} format. If the query fails, this method returns empty string.

Volume GUIDs can be used to enumerate the mounting points of a device using the Windows API's GetVolumePathNamesForVolumeName function.

Note: This method can only be called within events.
