Accessing Properties

In Windows Vista and later versions of Windows, the CfgMgr32 property functions or the SetupApi property functions can be used to access the properties in the unified property model.

For information about how to use these property functions to access the system-defined device properties, see the following topics:

• Accessing Device Instance Properties
• Accessing Device Class Properties
• Accessing Device Interface Properties

For information about how to access device properties on Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000, see Using SetupAPI and Configuration Manager to Access Device Properties.
