How to find available parallel ports and their I / O addresses using Delphi and WMI

I see that WMI is very powerful and seems to be able to return most of the PC hardware features. I would like to display the available parallel ports on any PC and find their I / O addresses. I know that this is usually done using the kernel driver, but this is an obsolete necessity - don't ask! Currently, we look in the device manager, and then enter the address displayed there. I would like to use WMI to find out this information. There is an excellent set of WMI classes in 1 , but I don't see how iterations are.

Thank.

You need to experiment to extract complex information from WMI. I tried to find the parallel port addresses on my PC, and this is the report:

First of all, I defined the Win32_ParallelPort class to find all the parallel ports. (using the same code as PRUZ in his message earlier): 'Select * From Win32_ParallelPort'. Result (I have only one parallel port on my system):

instance of Win32_ParallelPort
{
    Availability = 3;
    Caption = "LPT1";
    ConfigManagerErrorCode = 0;
    ConfigManagerUserConfig = FALSE;
    CreationClassName = "Win32_ParallelPort";
    Description = "LPT1";
    DeviceID = "LPT1";
    Name = "LPT1";
    OSAutoDiscovered = TRUE;
    PNPDeviceID = "ACPI\\PNP0401\\4&25C6B52A&0";
    PowerManagementSupported = FALSE;
    ProtocolSupported = 17;
    SystemCreationClassName = "Win32_ComputerSystem";
    SystemName = "JUPITER";
};

Secondly, I requested Win32_PNPAllocatedResource ('Select * From Win32_PnPAllocatedResource'). I have a lot of information here, but I selected only 3 entries PNPDeviceID = "ACPI \ PNP0401 \ 4 & 25C6B52A & 0".

instance of Win32_PNPAllocatedResource
{
    Antecedent = "\\\\JUPITER\\root\\cimv2:Win32_PortResource.StartingAddress=\"888\"";
    Dependent = "\\\\JUPITER\\root\\cimv2:Win32_PnPEntity.DeviceID=\"ACPI\\\\PNP0401\\\\4&25C6B52A&0\"";
};


instance of Win32_PNPAllocatedResource
{
    Antecedent = "\\\\JUPITER\\root\\cimv2:Win32_PortResource.StartingAddress=\"1912\"";
    Dependent = "\\\\JUPITER\\root\\cimv2:Win32_PnPEntity.DeviceID=\"ACPI\\\\PNP0401\\\\4&25C6B52A&0\"";
};


instance of Win32_PNPAllocatedResource
{
    Antecedent = "\\\\JUPITER\\root\\cimv2:Win32_DMAChannel.DMAChannel=3";
    Dependent = "\\\\JUPITER\\root\\cimv2:Win32_PnPEntity.DeviceID=\"ACPI\\\\PNP0401\\\\4&25C6B52A&0\"";
};

The third entry is not of interest. The first two entries give us two (decimal) start addresses (888 and 1912)

, Win32_PortResource ('Select * From Win32_PortResource'), , 888 1912:

instance of Win32_PortResource
{
    Alias = FALSE;
    Caption = "0x00000378-0x0000037F";
    CreationClassName = "Win32_PortResource";
    CSCreationClassName = "Win32_ComputerSystem";
    CSName = "JUPITER";
    Description = "0x00000378-0x0000037F";
    EndingAddress = "895";
    Name = "0x00000378-0x0000037F";
    StartingAddress = "888";
    Status = "OK";
};


instance of Win32_PortResource
{
    Alias = FALSE;
    Caption = "0x00000778-0x0000077B";
    CreationClassName = "Win32_PortResource";
    CSCreationClassName = "Win32_ComputerSystem";
    CSName = "JUPITER";
    Description = "0x00000778-0x0000077B";
    EndingAddress = "1915";
    Name = "0x00000778-0x0000077B";
    StartingAddress = "1912";
    Status = "OK";
};
