Listing Hardware like in Device Manager...

[Kendrel]

I'll need to list up all Hardware like the Device Manager is doing it...
Iam quite sure these are stored in the registry, but i havent found the right sections yet...

if you have any example or something on this one, please help me...
thx in advance!

in registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlset\Services

Here you find all services , the one with Type=1 are hardware drivers, other are normal services

i had a look, and there are some of the informations i would need but i couldnt find my gfx card for example... i just need a simple list like in the device manager that comes with windows... and you are sure that these are the values it uses?

[Kendrel]

Ive found now what i was looking for...

hklm\system\currentcontrolset\control\class\

there are the infos i need... on xp atleast

thx for your help berikco !

[Kendrel]

ohwell... i have to correct myself... the infos i need are spread everywhere in the registry... i thought it wouldnt be such a pain to list the shit what the device manager does... grrr

[Berikco]

All services are in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlset\Services, also display driver here.

but its not a nice list you can easely load, i agree.

[Kendrel]

well yes, but i dont see all the stuff there i would need...

ill stick to WMI now... i cannot use it with purebasic, so ill make that one with vb then... its very easy with WMI, and iam a little sad that you cannot use such things with PB... whatever... thx
