How to get the installed video card ( Delphi)
You can use the Win32_VideoController
WMI class
Try this sample.
{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
uses
SysUtils,
ActiveX,
ComObj,
Variants;
procedure GetWin32_VideoControllerInfo;
const
WbemUser ='';
WbemPassword ='';
WbemComputer ='localhost';
wbemFlagForwardOnly = $00000020;
var
FSWbemLocator : OLEVariant;
FWMIService : OLEVariant;
FWbemObjectSet: OLEVariant;
FWbemObject : OLEVariant;
oEnum : IEnumvariant;
iValue : LongWord;
begin;
FSWbemLocator := CreateOleObject('WbemScripting.SWbemLocator');
FWMIService := FSWbemLocator.ConnectServer(WbemComputer, 'root\CIMV2', WbemUser, WbemPassword);
FWbemObjectSet:= FWMIService.ExecQuery('SELECT Name,PNPDeviceID FROM Win32_VideoController','WQL',wbemFlagForwardOnly);
oEnum := IUnknown(FWbemObjectSet._NewEnum) as IEnumVariant;
while oEnum.Next(1, FWbemObject, iValue) = 0 do
begin
Writeln(Format('Name %s',[String(FWbemObject.Name)]));// String
Writeln(Format('PNPDeviceID %s',[String(FWbemObject.PNPDeviceID)]));// String
Writeln;
FWbemObject:=Unassigned;
end;
end;
begin
try
CoInitialize(nil);
try
GetWin32_VideoControllerInfo;
finally
CoUninitialize;
end;
except
on E:EOleException do
Writeln(Format('EOleException %s %x', [E.Message,E.ErrorCode]));
on E:Exception do
Writeln(E.Classname, ':', E.Message);
end;
Writeln('Press Enter to exit');
Readln;
end.
Here's a solution taken from @RRUZ answer. I slightly changed it into a function instead to make it easier.
uses
System.SysUtils,
System.Variants,
ActiveX,
ComObj;
function GetVideoCardName(): String;
const
WbemUser = '';
WbemPassword = '';
WbemComputer = 'localhost';
wbemFlagForwardOnly = $00000020;
var
FSWbemLocator: OLEVariant;
FWMIService: OLEVariant;
FWbemObjectSet: OLEVariant;
FWbemObject: OLEVariant;
oEnum: IEnumvariant;
iValue: LongWord;
begin;
try
FSWbemLocator := CreateOleObject('WbemScripting.SWbemLocator');
FWMIService := FSWbemLocator.ConnectServer(WbemComputer, 'root\CIMV2',
WbemUser, WbemPassword);
FWbemObjectSet := FWMIService.ExecQuery
('SELECT Name,PNPDeviceID FROM Win32_VideoController', 'WQL',
wbemFlagForwardOnly);
oEnum := IUnknown(FWbemObjectSet._NewEnum) as IEnumvariant;
while oEnum.Next(1, FWbemObject, iValue) = 0 do
begin
result := String(FWbemObject.Name);
FWbemObject := Unassigned;
end;
except
on E: EOleException do
ShowMessage(Format('EOleException %s %x', [E.Message, E.ErrorCode]));
on E: Exception do
ShowMessage(E.Classname + ':' + E.Message);
end;
end;
