How do I Group BGInfo output?

Question

My PC has multiple Network Interfaces...

Currently BGInfo's output is un-grouped, and shows as:
Network Card #1
Network Card #2
Network Card #3
IP ADDR #1
IP ADDR #2
IP ADDR #3
MAC #1
MAC #2
MAC #3 etc

I wouId like to have BGInfo display it's stuff grouped eg. (Nic Card, IP Addr, MAC Addr, Speed)
Network Card #1
IP ADDR #1
MAC #1
Network Card #2
IP ADDR #2
MAC #2
Network Card #3
IP ADDR #3
MAC #3

And maybe skip the interfaces that don't have an IP Addr, instead of displaying "(none)" ?

IIRC, there were some threads on this in the "old" forum/community, but I guess that's gone for good ?

Answer 1

Use a script external to BGInfo and prepare a file with the info you want ordered as you prefer.
Then load that file from BGInfo..

so at the end, you will have a loader.cmd which will do this:

cscript enumerate.vbs
bginfo c:\temp\config.bgi /timer:0

Answer 2

only Interfaces with an IP?

use a custom WMI query with:
SELECT IPAddress FROM Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration where ipenabled=true

and
SELECT Name FROM Win32_NetworkAdapter where NetEnabled = True
gives you the adapter.

the other information like MAC and DNS or GW you can get by the same way.

But how to group per aktive interface is a unkown trick.

To group BGInfo output:

1. Select items to group, right-click, and choose "Group."
2. Customize group properties and arrange groups.
3. Apply the configuration to display grouped information on the desktop.
