IOCTL_CHANGER_EXCHANGE_MEDIUM IOCTL (winioctl.h)

Moves a piece of media from a source element to one destination, and the piece of media originally in the first destination to a second destination.

To perform this operation, call the DeviceIoControl function with the following parameters.

BOOL DeviceIoControl(
 (HANDLE) hDevice, // handle to device
 IOCTL_CHANGER_EXCHANGE_MEDIUM, // dwIoControlCode
 (LPVOID) lpInBuffer, // input buffer
 (DWORD) nInBufferSize, // size of input buffer
 NULL, // lpOutBuffer
 0, // nOutBufferSize
 (LPDWORD) lpBytesReturned, // number of bytes returned
 (LPOVERLAPPED) lpOverlapped // OVERLAPPED structure
);

Remarks

To swap two pieces of media, specify the source as the value for the second destination.
