WPD_DEVICE_TYPES

The WPD_DEVICE_TYPES enumeration type describes the different Windows Portable Device types commonly used to determine the basic classification and visual appearance of a portable device.

Syntax

typedef enum tagWPD_DEVICE_TYPES
{ 
WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_GENERIC = 0, 
WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_CAMERA = 1, 
WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_MEDIA_PLAYER = 2, 
WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_PHONE = 3,
WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_VIDEO = 4,
WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_PERSONAL_INFORMATION_MANAGER = 5,
WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_AUDIO_RECORDER = 6
} WPD_DEVICE_TYPES;

Members

WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_GENERIC

A generic Windows Portable Device. These include multifunction devices that do not fall into one of the other WPD_DEVICE_TYPES enumeration values.

WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_CAMERA

A camera device. (such as a digital still camera)

WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_MEDIA_PLAYER

A media player device that may support playing audio, video, or viewing pictures (such as a portable music player or Portable Media Center). Not all of this functionally is required to be classified as a WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_MEDIA_PLAYER. For example, Portable Music Player devices are classified as WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_MEDIA_PLAYER.

WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_PHONE

A phone device (such as a mobile phone).

WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_VIDEO

A video device.

WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_PERSONAL_INFORMATION_MANAGER

A personal information manager device.

WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_AUDIO_RECORDER

An audio recorder device.

Remarks

WPD_DEVICE_TYPES are read using the IPortableDeviceManager interface. WPD applications may use these values to determine the generic visual appearance of the device. That is, a camera picture is displayed for camera-like devices, a mobile phone picture is displayed for phone-like devices, and so on.

Note   WPD applications must use the capabilities of the portable device to determine functionally, not the WPD_DEVICE_TYPE value.
