SetupFindNextMatchLine (setupapi)
.
C# Signature:
[DllImport("setupapi.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)]
public static extern bool SetupFindNextMatchLine(ref INFCONTEXT ContextIn, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPTStr)] string Key, out INFCONTEXT ContextOut);
VB Signature:
Public Declare Auto Function SetupFindNextMatchLine Lib "setupapi.dll" (ByRef ContextIn As INFCONTEXT, ByVal Key As String, ByRef ContextOut As INFCONTEXT) As Boolean
Declare Function SetupFindNextMatchLine Lib "setupapi.dll" (TODO) As TODO
Pointer to the INF file context retrieved by a call to the SetupFindFirstLine function.
Key
If this optional parameter is specified, it supplies a key to match. This parameter should be a null-terminated string. This parameter can be Null. If Key is not specified, the SetupFindNextMatchLine function is equivalent to the SetupFindNextLine function.
Pointer to a variable in which this function returns the context of the found line. ContextOut can point to ContextIn if the caller wishes.
None.
Return Value
The function returns a nonzero value if it finds a matching line. Otherwise, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Tips & Tricks:
If ContextIn.Inf references multiple INF files that have been appended together using SetupOpenAppendInfFile, the SetupFindNextMatchLine function searches across the specified section in all files referenced by the HINF to locate the next matching line.
None.
Sample Code:
Sample Code:
C#
string infFile = <INF file full path>;
uint ErrorLine = 0;
IntPtr infHandle = SetupOpenInfFile(infFile, null, INF_STYLE_OLDNT | INF_STYLE_WIN4, out ErrorLine);
int iCode = Marshal.GetLastWin32Error();
if (infHandle.ToInt64() != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
Console.WriteLine("INF file was opened successfully.");
INFCONTEXT Context = new INFCONTEXT();
if (SetupFindFirstLine(infHandle, "Manufacturer", null, ref Context) == true)
{
Console.WriteLine("Manufacturers list (which match the specific key):");
string manufacturerName = "";
manufacturerName = manufacturerName.PadLeft(256, ' ');
Int32 requiredSize = manufacturerName.Length;
while(SetupFindNextMatchLine(ref Context, <key to search>, out Context) == true)
{
manufacturerName = manufacturerName.PadLeft(256, ' ');
requiredSize = manufacturerName.Length;
SetupGetStringField(ref Context, 1, manufacturerName, manufacturerName.Length, out requiredSize);
manufacturerName = manufacturerName.Substring(0, requiredSize - 1);
Console.WriteLine(manufacturerName);
}
}

Console.WriteLine("Can't find [Manufacturer] section.");

The INFCONTEXT structure stores context information that functions such as SetupGetLineText use to navigate INF files.
