From: Ivo Beltchev on 16 Nov 2009 00:39 Hi How do I check if "Undock computer" should show up in the Start menu? I'm guessing it is available when the computer is "undockable" but what system setting can I check? I looked at SystemParametersInfo and GetSystemMetrics but none of the options seems related. Thanks Ivo
From: Kerem Gümrükcü on 16 Nov 2009 07:19 Hi Ivo, try the function SetupDiGetHwProfileList() and SetupDiGetHwProfileListEx() They can be of Help. Let us please know what you did and whether it helped or not,...

Thanks. That was helpful. Looking at the Wine sources I found the GetCurrentHwProfile function and the HW_PROFILE_INFO structure. But the docs are weird: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724479(VS.85).aspx DOCKINFO_DOCKED (2) - always set for desktops that cannot be undocked DOCKINFO_UNDOCKED (1) - always set for desktops that cannot be undocked I'm pretty sure my desktop PC can't be undocked but I'm getting DOCKINFO_UNDOCKED. The Wine version of GetCurrentHwProfile always returns DOCKINFO_DOCKED. I guess I'm a bit fuzzy on what is a "portable computer with a docking station". Does any notebook qualify? I don't own a notebook myself and I can't test it. marc wrote: > On 16 nov, 06:39, Ivo Beltchev <i...(a)ivo.com> wrote: >> Hi >> >> How do I check if "Undock computer" should show up in the Start menu? >> I'm guessing it is available when the computer is "undockable" but what >> system setting can I check? >> >> I looked at SystemParametersInfo and GetSystemMetrics but none of the >> options seems related. > > See Start Menu source code... > (from Wine, comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32, IRC, BBS, ... ) |
