SerialDevice.GetDeviceSelectorFromUsbVidPid(UInt16, UInt16) Method

Definition

Gets an Advanced Query Syntax (AQS) string that the app can pass to DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync in order to find a specific Serial-to-USB device by specifying its VID and PID.

public:
 static Platform::String ^ GetDeviceSelectorFromUsbVidPid(unsigned short vendorId, unsigned short productId);
 static winrt::hstring GetDeviceSelectorFromUsbVidPid(uint16_t const& vendorId, uint16_t const& productId);
public static string GetDeviceSelectorFromUsbVidPid(ushort vendorId, ushort productId);
function getDeviceSelectorFromUsbVidPid(vendorId, productId)
Public Shared Function GetDeviceSelectorFromUsbVidPid (vendorId As UShort, productId As UShort) As String

Parameters

vendorId
UInt16

unsigned short

uint16_t

Specifies the vendor identifier for the device as assigned by the USB specification committee. Possible values are 0 through 0xffff.

productId
UInt16

unsigned short

uint16_t

Specifies the product identifier. This value is assigned by the manufacturer and is device-specific. Possible values are 0 through 0xffff.

Returns

String

Platform::String

winrt::hstring

String formatted as an AQS query.

Examples

This example code shows how to get the SerialDevice object by specifying the vendor/product Id of the Serial-to-USB device.


protected override async void OnLaunched1(LaunchActivatedEventArgs args)
{
    UInt32 vid = 0x045E;
    UInt32 pid = 0x078F;

    string aqs = SerialDevice.GetDeviceSelectorFromUsbVidPid(vid, pid);

    var myDevices = await Windows.Devices.Enumeration.DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync(aqs, null);

    if (myDevices.Count == 0)
    {
        ShowError("Device not found!");
        return;
    }

    using SerialDevice device = await SerialDevice.FromIdAsync(myDevices[0].Id);

}
