Enumerating Services

The WpdServicesApiSample application includes code that demonstrates how an application can enumerate all of the Contacts services found on any of the devices currently connected to a computer.

When the user chooses option "0" at the command line, the application invokes the EnumerateContactsServices method that is found in the ServiceEnumeration.cpp module. This method displays a list of all connected devices that support the Contacts service.

For example, if the WpdServiceSampleDriver is the only installed device, the application returns three fields of data: a Friendly Name ("Sample Device"), a Manufacturer ("Windows Portable Devices Group"), and, a Description ("Contacts Service Device 2000").

The EnumerateContactsServices method accomplishes the following tasks:

  • Creates an IPortableDeviceManager interface to handle enumeration of installed devices.
  • Creates an IPortableDeviceServiceManager interface to handle enumeration of the services on each device.
  • Iterates through the installed devices, searching for the Contacts service, and displays the device information for any device that supports this service.

The following code illustrates the EnumerateContactsServices method.

// Enumerates all Contacts Services, displaying the associated device of each service.
void EumerateContactsServices(CAtlArray<PWSTR>& ContactsServicePnpIDs)
{
