You can use the Windows Embedded CE GlobalMemoryStatusfunction to get information about the amount of available memory on the device, as shown in the following code example.

Copy Code 
	MEMORYSTATUS   memInfo;
	STORE_INFORMATION   si;
	TCHAR   szBuf[MAX_PATH];

	// Program memory.
	memInfo.dwLength = sizeof(memInfo);
	GlobalMemoryStatus(&memInfo);

	wsprintf(szBuf, __TEXT("Total RAM: %d bytes\n Free: %d \nUsed:
%d"), 
		memInfo.dwTotalPhys, memInfo.dwAvailPhys,
memInfo.dwTotalPhys — 
		memInfo.dwAvailPhys);
	MessageBox(hwnd, szBuf, __TEXT("Program Memory"), MB_OK);

	// Storage memory.
	GetStoreInformation(&si);
  
	// dwStoreSize isn't exact due to compression. 
	wsprintf(szBuf, __TEXT("Free: %d"), si.dwFreeSize);
	MessageBox(hwnd, szBuf, __TEXT("Storage Memory"), MB_OK);

Remarks

Note:
GetStoreInformationis deprecated. Use GetDiskFreeSpaceExinstead.
