Get Video Card Information
Hi,
I have been trying to retrieve Video Card Information from the Registry. I am using code to look at the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\VIDEO\Device\Video0
and therefore get the location of the Video Card Information key. However, to do so, it is necessary to remove the "Registry\Machine" part from the value.
Can anyone show me how to do this?
Many Thanks.
Re: Get Video Card Information
The "correct" way to do this is to use the Setup API. What information specifically are you looking for?

The Driver Name, Memory Size and the DLL.

Another correct way to do this is to use EnumDisplayDevices and WMI.
EnumDisplayDevices allows you to retrieve single or multi-monitor information.

You can also communicate with the video card driver for the most accurate information. Use CreateFile() to achieve this.
Cheers!
