How to detect Tablet OS?

[lyledg]

GUys

I have written a script lately that needs to detect the OS. I know currently Autoit detects the usual and current OS's, but will there be plans to incorporate the detection of a Tablet OS in any future releases of Autoit..?

Cheers

the way I would think you could detect that would be to see if any of the tablet OS unique processes were running. I'm sure there are a few.

just a thought..

Run regedit and search for the term "Tablet" to see if any registry keys identify Tablet version of Windows?

Might also look at "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion"

Or you could use DllCall() like:

Global Const $SM_TABLETPC = 86

$IsTablet = DllCall("user32.dll","int","GetSystemMetrics","int",$SM_TABLETPC)
If Not @error And $IsTablet[0] Then
;   It's a tablet pc;-)
EndIf

So long...
