CM_Get_Sibling_Ex function (cfgmgr32.h)
[Beginning with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, this function has been deprecated. Please use CM_Get_Sibling instead.]
The CM_Get_Sibling_Ex function obtains a device instance handle to the next sibling node of a specified device node, in a local or a remote machine's device tree.
Syntax
CMAPI CONFIGRET CM_Get_Sibling_Ex(
[out] PDEVINST pdnDevInst,
[in] DEVINST dnDevInst,
[in] ULONG ulFlags,
[in, optional] HMACHINE hMachine
);
Parameters
[out] pdnDevInst
Caller-supplied pointer to the device instance handle to the sibling node that this function retrieves. The retrieved handle is bound to the machine handle specified by hMachine.
[in] dnDevInst
Caller-supplied device instance handle that is bound to the machine handle specified by hMachine.
[in] ulFlags
Not used, must be zero.
[in, optional] hMachine
Caller-supplied machine handle to which the caller-supplied device instance handle is bound.
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
To enumerate all children of a device node in the local machine's device tree, first call CM_Get_Child_Ex to obtain a handle to the first child node, then call CM_Get_Sibling_Ex to obtain handles for the rest of the children.
For information about using device instance handles that are bound to a local or a remote machine, see CM_Get_Child_Ex.
Functionality to access remote machines has been removed in Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 and later operating systems thus you cannot access remote machines when running on these versions of Windows.
