Question on 'Safely Remove Hardware' for Flash card (usb mass storage)

Question on 'Safely Remove Hardware' for Flash card (usb mass storage): Posted by Mike P on August 31st, 2005; Hi --

I have a program running that saves files on a flash card. It processes
the WM_DEVICECHANGE message for DBT_DEVICEQUERYREMOVE and closes its open
files and returns. But, when I use the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon, I get
the system message that the device can't be removed - try again later. This
message happens before I return from the WM_DEVICECHANGE notification. It
appears that the system only gives me a very short window in which to get
the files closed and then complains.

So my question is --- Is there any way that I specify a wait interval
for the device so that I can get the files closed and the device removed?

TIA
