Device Management API

Recommended Posts

The purpose of this UDF is native device management via the Windows Setup API. When complete it will provide most of the functionality of Devcon and Device Manager. With enough interest I hope to have a final version submitted into the standard UDF's.

Error 87: The parameter is incorrect

There isn't very detailed error checking yet because i wrote the whole thing today. I will post an update soon that will pinpoint the source of the error.

I appreciate the feedback. I am worried the code in the example may be too complex for some people. There are a lot of pointers to dllstruct's that can't be made inside functions so they have to be declared by the user.

I will try to work in some functions that will allow people to do shortcut tasks, like retrieving an array of all guid's or device names.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Update:

-Separated example into Simple and Advanced versions, which both produce the same result

-Updated UDF to Alpha v4, all function documentation complete + all error checking in place

Be sure to refresh your browser to get the latest scripts, they like to get stuck in the cache.

Hello weaponx,

I want to know that if i want Device Instance Id for any specfied Disk Drive then how can i mange your UDF to fullfill my requirement?

e.g:

I install my app in Drive C:\ of SAMSUNG SP0802N & i want the ID for that Disk, and there are 2 Disk Drives in the System, how can i manage to get the accurate Disk and its Instance Id

In your Example it will return the list of all Installed Hardwares.

Sorry for the necropost, but this looks too awesome to not use! When I check DeviceAPI I get

DeviceAPI.au3(684,73) : ERROR: _WinAPI_Check(): undefined function

Did something change in Alpha 5 that nobody mentioned until now?? Commenting out the 2 lines with that function call did allow it to work, but the error checking might be a nice thing to have...

Thanks

Ian
