WFX_PCIDetect - detect unknown hardware

[alexanderwdark]

WFX_PCIDetect - plugin edition of my utility PCIDetect.

Why someone need it?

1. You can find information (vendor and device names) about non-identified by OS hardware. This helps to find out driver and manual.

Unknown device is market by special icon in TC panel.

2. You can find out correct or no driver you have installed yet.

To get detailed info you can press F3 key on selected device.

3. PCI ID database can be easy updated using virtual Update [from internet] file on file panel.


How to connect to remote PC? Run Conntect to remote, enter host name or IP address (without slashes), close dialog and efresh file panel using CTRL+R.

Direct link on wincmd.ru file store.

Warning: this is very beta version, but it run's and works!


Question: how can plugin can make TC to refresh file panel? I.e. run again from FsFindFirst() ?

E.g. PostMessage(hMainTcWnd, WM_USER+51, 540, 0)

Updated:
1. Auto-refresh after connect to remote machine.
2. When connecting to local machine, using system device enumeration routine, when connecting to remote pc remote registry is used.

Archive must be OK, maybe archive is broken by antivirus of your Web filter?

I know, that McAfee shows some NewMalware false alarms for my plugin.

I confirm that the archive is fine. I just re-downloaded it and it installed normally.

I have installed wfx_pcidetect.wfx and pci.db into %COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wfx\

After I run Update [from internet] then there is a new pci.db file in %COMMANDER_PATH%

Is it possible to force the update to my original path?

Plugin uses path for ini files constant, which TC sends to WFX plugin.Plugin path is used just first-time, if database exist, it's copied to ini path.

Progess bar is showing, but is not reguired to be shown on devices on F3 pressed (TC progress is already shown) only on updating database from internet.
I have another suggestion. Can you make unknow diveces (in device manager) to be shown in plugin with question mark? or even if you can make one separate folder with name unknown devices where all devices would be

Now there is lifebuoy icon for such devices. I don't have any 16x16 nice question mark icon in my clipart (there is some system icon, but i haven't its location and id).
