Retrieving hardware information thr C++

[xiAoYJia]

I'm trying to create a simple application using C++ and MFC that is able to retrieve some hardware & general information of my pc and show it on the screen rather than having to check manually. Examples of information to be retrieved include: -Machine Name, Date Created, IP address of my pc, Memory, Users, Last Logon, Last Logoff and etc 1) How to get all this information thr C++ codes? 2) Any website that provide relevant codes or samples? Best Regards, xiAoYJia

Hey, the following page provides you with more than enough information. Just select the functions of your choice and see the SYNTAX. All these are WINDOWS API (VC++) functions. They can of course be used in console mode C++ programs compiled under Visual Studio5.0 or above. Link:: System Information functions at MSDN, microsoft(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sysinfo/base/system_information_functions.asp) A few functions are namely GetComputerName, GetCurrentHwProfile, GetSystemInfo, GetSystemMetrics(Very Important ;)), GetUserName, SystemParametersInfo etc. etc. etc. Remember... testing & debugging are always part of programming ...so exterminate those stinking bugs :) ...avenger
