Friendly name on COM port in Java?

Question

I working on a project where I have to get access to at COM port. I'm at the moment using winjcom to get access and to list the connected devices. My problem is that I would like to have the friendly names displayed instead of just COM3, COM4 and so on.

I found a thread

Getting device/driver information related to a COM port?

which can get the friendly name, but this is based on the face that i know the PID, VID and device ID. I would like to get it on all connected devices.

Hope you guys can help me. :)

Use JNA (https://github.com/twall/jna) and take a look at the following page. It might be a useful point to start from.

As an example, I use the code from https://stackoverflow.com/a/15348278/398348 to call WinRegistry.getStringSubKeys(). See, You do not need to know the device id. You can use the same logic but may have to use recursion in your code to traverse through the lower branches.

This code uses the windows dll setupapi through JNA to get the description of the COM port :

final SetupApi2 setupApi = SetupApi2.INSTANCE;
int SPDRP_FRIENDLYNAME = 12;

WinNT.HANDLE handle = setupApi.SetupDiGetClassDevsA(null, null, null, SetupApi.DIGCF_ALLCLASSES);

SetupApi.SP_DEVINFO_DATA devInfo = new SetupApi.SP_DEVINFO_DATA();
int indice = 0;

while (setupApi.SetupDiEnumDeviceInfo (handle, indice, devInfo) 
    ) {
        char[] windowText1 = new char[255];
    IntByReference flag = new IntByReference(0);

    IntByReference PropertyRegDataType = new IntByReference();
    byte[] descripcionByte = new byte[255];

    if ((setupApi.SetupDiGetDeviceInstanceIdA(handle, devInfo, windowText1, windowText1.length, flag))) {
        if ((setupApi.SetupDiGetDeviceRegistryPropertyA(handle, devInfo, SPDRP_FRIENDLYNAME, PropertyRegDataType, descripcionByte, descripcionByte.length, flag))) {
            String descripcionString = Native.toString(descripcionByte);
            System.out.println(descripcionString);
        }
    }
    indice++;
}
