API To Hide Non Plug And Play Devices In Device Manager?
Feb 24, 2012I'm writing a Windows Forms application in VB.Net 2010. The application's purpose is to recreate the Device Manager in VB.Net. The idea here is to capture the information provided by Device Manager and store it in a database. In turn this information could be used as a configuration management tool.
My device tree is coming along nicely, with one minor exception. There are hidden devices that Device Manager does not display by default. Show Hidden Devices causes Device Manager to display these devices. My Device Manager displays them by default. I want to duplicate the Device Manager behavior of being able to hide and display these devices in my appilcation. I have had some success with this task in that I am able to hide the Plug and Play devices that are marked as hidden by windows by use of the "Don't Display In DM" flag. There is the small issue of the Non Plug and Play Device Class. My question is this... Is there a similar flag for Non Plug and Play devices? I have found a reference to the PNP_DEVICE_STATE and IRP_MN_QUERY_PNP_DEVICE_STATE IRP. It contains a flag
PNP_DEVICE_DONT_DISPLAY_IN_UI. My problem is that I cannot find any guidance as to the structure of this API declare and the coding needed to use it. I'm not even sure if this API will be helpful in accomplishing my task. I want to hide the Non Plug and Play devices and device class in my tree. Can someone please assist me with the locating an API that will accomplish this and the proper coding of the API in VB?
I am using Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and Running Windows 7 Ultimate with all Service Packs and updates applied.

List Name Of All Connected Devices On Lan?
Oct 28, 2010i am trying to enumerate all IPs on my local network, but i am not having any luck. The only thing i have came up with so far is a really tedius "get my own ip and scan the subnet with pings" which surely isn't the best way? I am really only trying to get the ip of a tivo box, and i can determine it's a tivo by mac address or name. My router lists the "computer name" of the tivos as a long string of numbers with the prefix "tivo".What about broadcasting a ping packet? I could also attempt to connect with telnet to port 31339 on every one of them.
View 8 RepliesAdd Support For MTP Based Devices?
Apr 3, 2007I'm writing a media management tool and want to add support for MTP based devices.I've been reading through the SDK docs and with the help of some C# examples have managed to make a start on getting some VB code working.
I've come across a few anomolies that I hope someone can help me with!In the examples IPortableDeviceManager.GetDevice appears in C# to receive a string array. But in VB.NET it appears to only receive a string. I have a similar issue with IPortableDeviceManager.GetDeviceFriendlyName which according to the C# samples appears to receive a char array, whereas in VB.NET it is accepting a UShort.

Dec 9, 2009Been a long time since my last thread but here we go.I'm using VS.NET 2010 Prof Beta at the moment and I'm trying to list all Nic Cards and their settings into a text box. I succeeded with a script from the web (which had an error in the first place) and some adjustments to it.
It lists all hidden devices too (as to be shown in Device manager: Show hidden devices) I worked my way around it and let it jump to next if it doesn't have a IP address, but I find this a bit clumsy and want to really skip them if they are hidden and not just the way I did this now.
Plus it still does show the same NiC (different name, same MAC#) in the list because it has an IP, but in Device manager this one is hidden.[code...]

An old IPAQ Pocket PC that runs Windows Mobile 4.2
A Mini-ITX PC Running XP
My IPAQ connects to my network via wireless. My Mini-ITX PC is going to have an IR-Blaster setup which is going to control all my devices. What I would like to do is create a small controller program that runs on my IPAQ and a back end program on my Mini-ITX PC, so that when a particular control is selected on my IPAQ it sends the signal to my program on the Mini-ITX PC which inturns sends the correct IR signal to the device in question.
