Finding ComPorts by VID and PID

Recommended Posts

I have been using this function for years. I want to loop through all the ComPorts on a computer and return the ComPort of any port having VID 401 and PID 6003. This has worked forever but today I found a serious problem. I guess there is a "PortName" and a "FriendlyName" for each port. I have been incorrectly using the "FriendlyName" and need to start using the "PortName" because I guess there are certain instances where the "FriendlyName" doesn't really reflect the ""PortName". Here is the code. Can anyone tell me what I have to change to get the "PortName" and not the "FriendlyName"?

; Will scan all FTDI COMPorts in the WMI and return either the comport FTDI on or ""

Func FindOBD()
    Local $NumericPort, $Leftprens, $Rightprens, $TestDevice
    Local $oWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\localhost\root\CIMV2")
    If @error Then Return SetError(@error, 0, "")
    Local $oItems = $oWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_PnPEntity WHERE Name LIKE '%(COM%)'", "WQL", 48)
    $CommPort = ""
    For $oItem In $oItems
        $TestDevice = StringInStr($oItem.DeviceID, "FTDIBUS\VID_0403+PID_6001")
        If $TestDevice = 0 Then
            ContinueLoop
        EndIf
        $Leftprens = StringInStr($oItem.Name, "(")
        $Rightprens = StringInStr($oItem.Name, ")")
        $CommPort = StringMid($oItem.Name, $Leftprens + 1, $Rightprens - $Leftprens - 1)
        $NumericPort = Int(StringRight($CommPort, StringLen($CommPort) - 3))
        If ($NumericPort > 9) Then
            $CommPort = "\\.\" & $CommPort
        EndIf
    Next
    Return $CommPort
EndFunc

Maybe you can try this :

ConsoleWrite(   FindOBD("FTDIBUS\VID_0403+PID_60011")   )

Func FindOBD($sSearch)
    Local $aResult[1]
 
    Local $oWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\" & @ComputerName & "\root\cimv2")
    If NOT IsObj($oWMIService) Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
 
    Local $oPnPDevices = $oWMIService.ExecQuery("select * from Win32_PnPDevice")
 
    For $oDevice In $oPnPDevices
        If StringInStr($oDevice.SystemElement, 'DeviceID="' & $sSearch & '"') Then
            $sPort = StringRegExpReplace( $oDevice.SameElement, '.+"([^"]+)"', "$1")
            Return $sPort
        EndIf
    Next
    
    Return ""
EndFunc

Thank you both. @JohnOne I found that field list shortly after posting the original question and did a console write on every field. The actual Comport Number just isn't there. Only the "FriendlyName". Granted the Port Number and FiriendlyName are usually one in the same but in this case it isn't. Maybe I should start a new question and ask how to find all comports with a given pid and vid but not using the WMI services?
