    Getting Name of Video Adapter

    How do you get information about the current video adapter. I've looked in the registry, but there is extra information. My video cards are listed as \0002 and \0003 under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlset\Services\Class\Display, but I'm not sure what \0000 and \0001 are. Is there a Windows API for getting the display adapter info?

    You may want to search the entire MSDN collection for the following:

    ChangeDisplaySettings
    ChangeDisplaySettingsEx
    WM_DISPLAYCHANGE
    EnumDisplayDevices
    EnumDisplaySettings
    SETDISP.C

    Good luck,
    Marc

    Most of those functions are Windows 2000 only, not quite useful.

    I searched them all and found nothing that could be useful to get the name of the video card...
