DiskType and DISC_TYPE_XA

How do I determine if a CD is type XA?

Do I test m__UCHAR__DiscType from DISK_INFORMATION along with DISC_TYPE_XA?
For Example:

Code:

if (m__UCHAR__DiscType & DISC_TYPE_XA)
    bXA = TRUE;

If so, do I need to use a mask like below when checking for the actual disk type?

Code:

switch (m__UCHAR__DiscType & 0xf)
{
    case DISC_TYPE_CDROM:
    case DISC_TYPE_CDR:
}

Thanks for the help.

Just check m__UCHAR__DiscType for DISC_TYPE_CDDA, CDI or XA. Like

if ( Xxx.m__UCHAR__DiscType == DISC_TYPE_CDDA )
{
// Do something here...
}

But, DISC_TYPE_CDDA == DISC_TYPE_CDROM, so are these the same?

Why are DISC_TYPE_CDDA, DISC_TYPE_CDI, and DISC_TYPE_XA not part of typedef enum _DISC_TYPE?

No. There are DISC_TYPE_XXX defines (they are m__UCHAR__DiscType from DISC_INFORMATION_STRUCTURE) and DISC_TYPE_XXX enum members. They are returned as GetInsertedDiscType(...) API call result.

I think it's a mess so should we change defines to some other text (not to confuse the users)?

This one has been fixed. Upcoming build would not have bogus names anymore. Thanks!
