flag write modes

SupportedModesWrite in starburnX returns flags (as set of flags). I'm assuming that means the value of all the flags combined. Is that the case? What is the flag/value for each of the modes?

Side note/request: There really should be a way to enumerate the available modes like you would drive speeds.

ProbeSupportedWriteModes(...) exists inside StarBurn core. So it should not be a problem to wrap it inside StarBurnX (if not done yet).

...so what are the flag values/which mode(s) does each value correlate to?

This is what I have so far, let me know if they are correct and the rest of them please:
3,11,15 = T.A.O
3,11,15 = S.A.O
11 = D.A.O
11,15 = D.A.O Raw

Thanks

Hello,

1) The "STARBURN_WRITE_MODE" type is a flagged enum

STARBURN_WRITE_MODE_AUTO = 0
STARBURN_WRITE_MODE_TAO = 1
STARBURN_WRITE_MODE_SAO = 2
STARBURN_WRITE_MODE_DAO_16 = 4
STARBURN_WRITE_MODE_DAO_96 = 8

2) .. "SupportedModesWrite" - this property returns the information (as the set of flags) about the Write Modes which are supported by current device.

3) You can use the returned value in the next manner:

Ð¡# example - DiscInfo

Code:

private void RefreshSupportedWriteModes(DriveInfo pDriveInfo)
   {
       STARBURN_WRITE_MODE supportedWriteMode = (STARBURN_WRITE_MODE)pDriveInfo.SupportedModesWrite;

       chkDAO_PQ.Checked  = ((supportedWriteMode & STARBURN_WRITE_MODE.STARBURN_WRITE_MODE_DAO_16)==0)?false:true;
       chkDAO_PW.Checked  = ((supportedWriteMode & STARBURN_WRITE_MODE.STARBURN_WRITE_MODE_DAO_96) == 0)?false:true; 

        ... etc.   
   }

Regards,

Dmitry

I can't use the example the way you have it, but the flags that you gave me solved my problem.

Thanks.

Your suggestions about the sample please.

You get me wrong, the reason I can't use it is because I'm using a different language that dima's example wont work with, that's why I needed the actual flag values, and the cumulative values. So there is no real suggestion I have.

Whoops, sorry in such a case
