  • Article

[Beginning with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, this function has been deprecated. Please use CM_Get_DevNode_Property instead.]

The CM_Get_DevNode_Property_ExW function retrieves a device instance property.

Syntax

CMAPI CONFIGRET CM_Get_DevNode_Property_ExW(
  [in]           DEVINST          dnDevInst,
  [in]           const DEVPROPKEY *PropertyKey,
  [out]          DEVPROPTYPE      *PropertyType,
  [out]          PBYTE            PropertyBuffer,
  [in, out]      PULONG           PropertyBufferSize,
  [in]           ULONG            ulFlags,
  [in, optional] HMACHINE         hMachine
);

Parameters

[in] dnDevInst

Device instance handle that is bound to the local machine.

[in] PropertyKey

Pointer to a DEVPROPKEY structure that represents the device property key of the requested device instance property.

[out] PropertyType

Pointer to a DEVPROPTYPE-typed variable that receives the property-data-type identifier of the requested device instance property, where the property-data-type identifier is the bitwise OR between a base-data-type identifier and, if the base-data type is modified, a property-data-type modifier.

[out] PropertyBuffer

Pointer to a buffer that receives the requested device instance property. CM_Get_DevNode_Property_ExW retrieves the requested property only if the buffer is large enough to hold all the property value data. The pointer can be NULL.

[in, out] PropertyBufferSize

The size, in bytes, of the PropertyBuffer buffer. If PropertyBuffer is set to NULL, *PropertyBufferSize must be set to zero. As output, if the buffer is not large enough to hold all the property value data, CM_Get_DevNode_Property_ExW returns the size of the data, in bytes, in *PropertyBufferSize.

[in] ulFlags

Reserved. Must be set to zero.

[in, optional] hMachine

Caller-supplied machine handle, obtained from a previous call to CM_Connect_Machine.

Note  Using this function to access remote machines is not supported beginning with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, as this functionality has been removed.
 

Return value

If the operation succeeds, the function returns CR_SUCCESS. Otherwise, it returns one of the CR_-prefixed error codes defined in Cfgmgr32.h.

Remarks

CM_Get_DevNode_Property_ExW is part of the Unified Device Property Model.
