Hello

I am new to this forum. I have been trying to locate a method of determining the friendlyname of a com port. I have found a "setupdigethwprofilefriendlyname" api but I do not know how to use it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Why do you want a friendly name for the com port? Why can't you use the actual name?

You can call the ports what ever name you want too. Wink
