IDiscMaster::EnumDiscRecorders method (imapi.h)

Retrieves an enumerator for all disc recorders supported by the active disc master format.

Syntax

HRESULT EnumDiscRecorders(
  [out] IEnumDiscRecorders **ppEnum
);

Parameters

[out] ppEnum

Address of a pointer to the IEnumDiscRecorders enumerator.

Return value

S_OK is returned on success, but other success codes may be returned as a result of implementation. The following error codes are commonly returned on operation failure, but do not represent the only possible error values:

Remarks

IEnumDiscRecorders is a standard COM enumerator, as documented in IEnumXXXX. Each call to Next returns an array of pointers to IDiscRecorder. Each recorder interface represents a single available recorder already associated with an underlying physical disc recorder.

The list of available recorders may change due to Plug and Play arrivals or departures, or a call to SetActiveDiscMasterFormat. An application is notified of these changes when it receives a call to IDiscMasterProgressEvents::NotifyPnPActivity. When a change occurs, the application should call this method again to retrieve a new enumerator, because each enumerator contains a snapshot of the devices supported at the time of the enumeration.

When a device is removed, its pointer and IDiscRecorder interface must remain valid even though the underlying physical device is missing. In this case, operations on an IDiscRecorder or a request to record a disc may return IMAPI_E_DEVICE_NOTPRESENT.

The MaxWriteSpeed property is updated when this method is called. The default setting is the highest available write speed.
