windows xp cd writing support (can't find imapi.h) HELP!

[tonylc@gmail.com]

Hi,
I'm trying to program in 2003 Visual Studio to try and burn files
onto a cd burner in windows xp service pack 2.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/04/CQA/

I found some code on this website that i'm trying to run, but it keeps
saying it cannot find imapi.h. But I thought imapi.h came with windows
xp? Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tony

The header should be included in the latest version of the Win32
Platform SDK ...

ok well either way..i don't really need the IMAPI. I just need to be
able to burn. And using the Burn the functionality if the ICDBurn
requires a HWND to pass in. How do I just burn a specific file (for
example NexText.doc)??? if anyone could answer that, that would be
great!

Thanks!

just to clarify...i know file handles are of type HANDLE (ie long), but
HWND is of type unsigned short. i must be missing some important
concept.

any help would be great thanks!

As the docs for ICDBurn::Burn says, the files are picked up from the
"staging area" under the user's local profile directory. See

HWNDs and other HANDLEs are all opaque values the size of a pointer.

does anyone know what you need to include to get Visual Studio 2003 to
recognize IDiscMaster, IDiscRecorder and all the other interfaces in
IMAPI? Right my visual studio only recognizes ICDBurn. Any idea would
be great.

Thanks,
Tony
