Hardware Enumerator [pre-release]

[Raistlin]

[UPDATED to Ver 0.8 pre-release]

Added : Detects for DirectX, dotNET4, M/B & BIOS, default S/Card

@AW27: Memory bug -> crazy pointers (my fault entirely)

[aw27]

Almost all bugs fixed.
However:
1) It does not detect more than 1 monitor. I have 2,  some people more. (* see below)
2) Model is wrong, what it is showing is Extended Model.
3) I have no explanation for the font style changing to bold or for font color change. I have not checked in the help file. 
4) Static boxes are small to contain the information, I believe you should use read-only Edit boxes allowing the user to read till the end, or show it in a tool tip when it does not fit in the static box.
5) It should save all the information to a file.

@AW:
0) "Almost all bugs fixed " -  - I take it the data corruption is now solved - again thanks for your input
1) I'am not quite sure I understand your meaning - the detections are for the default display adapter attached to the desktop.
    (sample code on page 4 of this thread)
2) But I do see your point, I'll add this in the next version update
3) Can you clarify ? - or PM/email me a screenshot please

4) Static boxes are small to contain the information, I believe you should use read-only Edit boxes allowing the user to read till the end..
5) It should save all the information to a file

Very GOOD ideas - I should really brush-up on my interface design.
I'll definitely add & modify for these in the next version update.  :t

Hi Raistlin,

My computer has 2 sound cards on board and 1 virtual sound card.
In total 11 Stereo output channels.

As default sound card it shows the 7th stereo output channel of my default soundcard. ( should be the first )
hint: the first guid returned is the default and is equal to 1 of the following enumerated guids.

The rest seems correct.  8)

[Raistlin]

Thanks Siekmanski - it was'nt clear on MSDN (see below). Your explanation makes more sense 

RE:

Code: [Select]

The primary device is enumerated twice, first with NULL in lpGuid and then with its GUID in that parameter.So I mistakenly thought the GUID on first return was NULL and then the first actual GUID was the default.

Lemme switch over to Windows 10 - I'm on Windows 7 right now without the proper drivers installed.... (can't get new drivers for an older OS for this 'puter)

[Raistlin]

Why zedd151, what's it showing?
You've got my email\PM.  :icon_eek:

[zedd151]

Why zedd151, what's it showing?
You've got my email\PM.  :icon_eek:

Nothing bad, just it's missing the Display info.. I'm still on 7 now if you want to see it...
 
This is from Windows 7 Ultimate:

[Raistlin]

Wow, you had me worried. No problems then  :icon_mrgreen:

[zedd151]

Oh no, it's all good.  :t
 
I put the screen capture in my previous post...
As soon as I'm finished defragging my storage drive, I'll do another from Windows 10 Home Edition....

[zedd151]

Here is the screen capture from WIndows 10 Home edition...

[Raistlin]

All good, thanks zedd151.

[zedd151]

All good, thanks zedd151.

happy to help out   8)

From Windows xp sp3 Professional in Virtual Box --- 32 bits


Surprisingly a lot of the info still holds true from Virtual Box, but not all. Being in a virtual environment does strip away some functionality.


This is a test, only a test.   :P

[Raistlin]

@Zedd: Yes a VM will do that - I tested the profiler under under HyperV with
             Linux OpenSuse Leap & WINE = It works !  Even shows WINE
             .NET support, however still need to get DirectX to work for Linux.

             As to the screenshot you posted:
             1) SVM switch is toggled (VM mode - so no problems there)
             2) Interestingly FMA3 switch is now off (probably the VM hypervisor ? - I'll investigate)
             3) HTT switch is off // (VM mode - you assigned 1 core to the VM & cache also reflects such - so all good)
             4) RAM size is understandable - you assigned 1 GB of the 4GB actual - display card is probably utilizing partial RAM
             5) Display card is not showing - what Display adapter is showing inside the XP's device manager ? - I'am interested to know please
             6) x64 mode now disabled in CPUID - did you specifically select x86 compatable VM ? - I'am interested to know please
             7) Registry error showing on internal error flags - probably due to .NET detection - so all fine there as well.
                                                             
             But yes, the VM environment loads it's own hardware kernel
             emulation that strips the standard functionalities. More updates
             coming soon.
