DeviceInformation.CreateWatcher Method

Definition

Overloads

CreateWatcher()

Creates a DeviceWatcher for all devices.

CreateWatcher(String)

Creates a DeviceWatcher for devices matching the specified Advanced Query Syntax (AQS) string.

CreateWatcher(DeviceClass)

Creates a DeviceWatcher for devices matching the specified DeviceClass.

CreateWatcher(String, IIterable<String>)

Creates a DeviceWatcher for devices matching the specified Advanced Query Syntax (AQS) string and the specified collection of properties.

CreateWatcher(String, IIterable<String>, DeviceInformationKind)

Creates a DeviceWatcher for devices matching the specified Advanced Query Syntax (AQS) string, the specified collection of properties, and the kind of devices.

CreateWatcher(String, IIterable<String>, DeviceInformationKind, IDeviceEnumerationSettings)

Creates a DeviceWatcher for devices matching the specified Advanced Query Syntax (AQS) string, the specified collection of properties, the kind of device, and the settings.

CreateWatcher()

Creates a DeviceWatcher for all devices.

public:
 static DeviceWatcher ^ CreateWatcher();
/// [Windows.Foundation.Metadata.Overload("CreateWatcher")]
 static DeviceWatcher CreateWatcher();
[Windows.Foundation.Metadata.Overload("CreateWatcher")]
public static DeviceWatcher CreateWatcher();
function createWatcher()
Public Shared Function CreateWatcher () As DeviceWatcher

Returns

The created DeviceWatcher.

Attributes

Remarks

The DeviceWatcher first performs an initial enumeration of devices, raising an Added event for each device that it finds, and raising an EnumerationCompleted event when the initial enumeration is complete. After the initial enumeration is complete, it raises events when a device is added, deleted, or updated.

See the DeviceWatcher class for an example.

Note

An app must subscribe to all of the added, removed, and updated events to be notified when there are device additions, removals or updates. If an app handles only the added event, it will not receive an update if a device is added to the system after the initial device enumeration completes.

CreateWatcher(String)

Creates a DeviceWatcher for devices matching the specified Advanced Query Syntax (AQS) string.

public:
 static DeviceWatcher ^ CreateWatcher(Platform::String ^ aqsFilter);
/// [Windows.Foundation.Metadata.Overload("CreateWatcherAqsFilter")]
 static DeviceWatcher CreateWatcher(winrt::hstring const& aqsFilter);
[Windows.Foundation.Metadata.Overload("CreateWatcherAqsFilter")]
public static DeviceWatcher CreateWatcher(string aqsFilter);
function createWatcher(aqsFilter)
Public Shared Function CreateWatcher (aqsFilter As String) As DeviceWatcher

Parameters

aqsFilter
String

Platform::String

winrt::hstring

An AQS string that filters the DeviceInformation objects to enumerate. Typically this string is retrieved from the GetDeviceSelector method of a class that interacts with devices. For example, GetDeviceSelector retrieves the string for the StorageDevice class.

Returns

The created DeviceWatcher.

Attributes

Remarks

Note

This overload is not available from JavaScript. To create a DeviceWatcher from an AQS string in JavaScript, use the CreateWatcher(String, IIterable_1) overload and pass null as the second parameter.

The DeviceWatcher first performs an initial enumeration of devices, raising an Added event for each device that it finds, and raising an EnumerationCompleted event when the initial enumeration is complete. After the initial enumeration is complete, it raises events when a device is added, deleted, or updated.

Note

An app must subscribe to all of the added, removed, and updated events to be notified when there are device additions, removals or updates. If an app handles only the added event, it will not receive an update if a device is added to the system after the initial device enumeration completes.

Parameters

deviceClass
DeviceClass

The class of device to enumerate using the DeviceWatcher.

Returns

The created DeviceWatcher.

Attributes

Remarks

The DeviceWatcher first performs an initial enumeration of devices, raising an Added event for each device that it finds, and raising an EnumerationCompleted event when the initial enumeration is complete. After the initial enumeration is complete, it raises events when a device is added, deleted, or updated.
