Device List

[MadBoy]

Hey,

I've been wondering. I wrote a program that installs hardware by using devcon.exe from Microsoft. But since it's microsoft toy i doubt i can attach it with my program and spread it wherever i want

So i've been wondering is there a way to make dll call that will list you all devices in the system and correspondive problems or lack of drivers or whatever info you can get with it? so i can basically get similar info that DeviceManager offers?

Tnx for any help on that,

MadBoy

EDIT: WRONG FORUM :/ Can op please move it to support

DevCon (Device Console) just wraps up some Setupapi.dll and cfgmgr32.dll functions in a command line tool

You could do DllCalls to Setupapi.dll with the function list here:

You can also do a search here for setupapi.dll, and find a lot of examples of people trying to use it.

as for cfgmgr32.dll, Larry's already done some interesting work here:

Ah tnx, bad thing is i don't have any experience with doing this so i guess i will have some hard time But tnx for clearing it up. I'll check things.

I've allready seen it and i'm using it. Before it was like devcon rescan, and when i saw it i thought about having it all done by skipping devcon totally as this way it looks more pro

I have found some possibilities but to say the truth i don't know if i will be able to produce something out of it without help

Oh, I would really like to have one of those click here And I'll install new hardware for you software packages...

Sorry, could not resist

Hope your quest will be a successful one.

I have done some reading of code on MSDN and i can't see (probably lack of knowledge) how i can port those codes to AutoIt. Maybe you could help me with that. I'm using some WMI calls but it seems that WMI calls (some even 30seconds) takes much more time then what devcon.exe (when it does it in 5seconds or so) needs to gather all other information.
