Hi,

I need to get device friendly name from my code. I am able to obtain the device-name from DEV_BROADCAST_DEVICEINTERFACE structure. I am not able to find if there is any system call to obtain the device friendly name or to get a conversion from device name to friendly name.

I ran a search on the net but I am hitting a dead-end. Please help.

Thanks in advance,
Shishir

Try looking up stuff in the registry - You'll probably want the "DisplayName" variable

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\HDAudBus]
"Start"=dword:00000003
"Type"=dword:00000001
"ErrorControl"=dword:00000001
"ImagePath"=hex(2):5c,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,\
  74,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,44,00,52,\
