WPD_DEVICE_TYPES enumeration

The WPD_DEVICE_TYPES enumeration type describes the different Windows Portable Device (WPD) types commonly used to determine the basic classification and visual appearance of a portable device.

Syntax

typedef enum tagWPD_DEVICE_TYPES { 
  WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_GENERIC                       = 0,
  WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_CAMERA                        = 1,
  WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_MEDIA_PLAYER                  = 2,
  WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_PHONE                         = 3,
  WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_VIDEO                         = 4,
  WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_PERSONAL_INFORMATION_MANAGER  = 5,
  WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_AUDIO_RECORDER                = 6
} WPD_DEVICE_TYPES;

Constants

WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_GENERIC

A generic WPD that includes multifunction devices that do not fall into one of the other WPD_DEVICE_TYPES enumeration values.

WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_CAMERA

A camera device, such as a digital still camera.

WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_MEDIA_PLAYER

A media player device that supports playing audio, video, or viewing pictures, such as a portable music player or portable media center. Not all of this functionally is classified as a WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_MEDIA_PLAYER. For example, portable music player devices are classified as WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_MEDIA_PLAYER.

WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_PHONE

A phone device, such as a mobile phone.

WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_VIDEO

A video device.

WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_PERSONAL_INFORMATION_MANAGER

A personal information manager device.

WPD_DEVICE_TYPE_AUDIO_RECORDER

An audio recorder device.

Remarks

WPD_DEVICE_TYPES are read using the IPortableDeviceManager interface. WPD applications may use these values to determine the generic visual appearance of the device. That is, a camera picture is displayed for camera-like devices, a mobile phone picture is displayed for phone-like devices, and so on.

Note

WPD applications must use the capabilities of the portable device to determine functionally, not the WPD_DEVICE_TYPES value.
