DEV_BROADCAST_PORT_W structure (dbt.h)
Contains information about a modem, serial, or parallel port.
Syntax
typedef struct _DEV_BROADCAST_PORT_W {
DWORD dbcp_size;
DWORD dbcp_devicetype;
DWORD dbcp_reserved;
wchar_t dbcp_name[1];
} DEV_BROADCAST_PORT_W, *PDEV_BROADCAST_PORT_W;
Members
dbcp_size
The size of this structure, in bytes. This is the size of the members plus the actual length of the dbcp_name string (the null character is accounted for by the declaration of dbcp_name as a one-character array.)
dbcp_devicetype
Set to DBT_DEVTYP_PORT.
dbcp_reserved
Reserved; do not use.
dbcp_name[1]
A null-terminated string specifying the friendly name of the port or the device connected to the port. Friendly names are intended to help the user quickly and accurately identify the device—for example, "COM1" and "Standard 28800 bps Modem" are considered friendly names.
Remarks
Note
The dbt.h header defines DEV_BROADCAST_PORT as an alias that automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that is not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
