How to get the PDA type and make

Hi,

As a program I am writing should behave slightly different depending on the make and type of the PDA, I need to find these data programmatically. Does somebody know how? GetDeviceID doesn't give me the required information.

Hi Specci48,

On my PDA - a MIO P350 - I can ask for SysInfo, then a window is presented with ROM version, OS version, Profile and UUID.

The Profile, in my case "Mio P350", is the information I am interested in. The program should act differently when the profile should read e.g. Mio C220. So, make and model or type, but mainly model or type are of interest.

Hi Harry,

this question was asked before (http://www.basic4ppc.com/forum/showt...hlight=version) but not really solved

Maybe this nice tool from alfcen (http://www.basic4ppc.com/forum/share-your-creations/961-retrieve-device-parameters.html) helps you to find out some differences between the devices you are looking for.
