SetupGetLineByIndexA function (setupapi.h)
[This function is available for use in the operating systems indicated in the Requirements section. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions. SetupAPI should no longer be used for installing applications. Instead, use the Windows Installer for developing application installers. SetupAPI continues to be used for installing device drivers.]
The SetupGetLineByIndex function locates a line by its index value in the specified section in the INF file.
Syntax
WINSETUPAPI BOOL SetupGetLineByIndexA(
[in] HINF InfHandle,
[in] PCSTR Section,
[in] DWORD Index,
[in, out] PINFCONTEXT Context
);
Parameters
[in] InfHandle
Handle to the INF file.
[in] Section
Pointer to a null-terminated string specifying the section of the INF file to search.
[in] Index
Index of the line to be located. The total number of lines in a particular section can be found with a call to SetupGetLineCount.
[in, out] Context
Pointer to a variable that receives the context information for the found line.
Return value
If the function succeeds, the return value is a nonzero value. If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
If InfHandle references multiple INF files that have been appended together using SetupOpenAppendInfFile, this function searches across the specified section in all files referenced by the HINF to locate the indexed line.
Note
The setupapi.h header defines SetupGetLineByIndex 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.
