{
The SHFormatDrive API provides access to the Shell's format
dialog box. This allows applications that want to format disks to bring
up the same dialog box that the Shell uses for disk formatting.
}
const
SHFMT_DRV_A = 0;
SHFMT_DRV_B = 1;
SHFMT_ID_DEFAULT = $FFFF;
SHFMT_OPT_QUICKFORMAT = 0;
SHFMT_OPT_FULLFORMAT = 1;
SHFMT_OPT_SYSONLY = 2;
SHFMT_ERROR = -1;
SHFMT_CANCEL = -2;
SHFMT_NOFORMAT = -3;
function SHFormatDrive(hWnd: HWND;
Drive: Word;
fmtID: Word;
Options: Word): Longint
stdcall; external 'Shell32.dll' Name 'SHFormatDrive';
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
FmtRes: Longint;
begin
try
FmtRes := ShFormatDrive(Handle,
SHFMT_DRV_A,
SHFMT_ID_DEFAULT,
SHFMT_OPT_QUICKFORMAT);
case FmtRes of
SHFMT_ERROR: ShowMessage('Error formatting the drive');
SHFMT_CANCEL: ShowMessage('User canceled formatting the drive');
SHFMT_NOFORMAT: ShowMessage('No Format')
else
ShowMessage('Disk has been formatted!');
end;
except
ShowMessage('Error Occured!');
end;
end;
{
Normally, if a diskette is not in the drive when SHFormatDrive is called,
the system displays a critical error dialog box that asks the user
to Abort, Retry, or Ignore.
You can prevent the system from displaying this dialog box by calling
the SetErrorMode API with SEM_FAILCRITICALERRORS.
}
var
EMode: Word;
begin
EMode := SetErrorMode(SEM_FAILCRITICALERRORS);
// ShFormatDrive Code....
SetErrorMode(EMode);
end;
