CPU type & Windows version?
BlitzPlus Forums/BlitzPlus Programming/CPU type & Windows version?
| ||
@all Is it somehow possible in BlitzPlus to display the CPU installed (brand and speed) and which Windows version? |
| ||
Look at the 'GetEnv$' command in the docs. I think you can get quite a lot of info with this command now, can't remember where I saw the full list though. |
| ||
@VIP3R Thanks for the tip, but the latest online docs only supply these: Print "PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE: "+GetEnv$("PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE") Print "ProgramFiles: "+GetEnv$("ProgramFiles") Print "SystemDrive: "+GetEnv$("SystemDrive") Print "TEMP: "+GetEnv$("TEMP") WaitKey() There is bound to be more? |

Yeah there are more, be careful though as not all versions of Windows support the whole list. Maybe someone else can remember where they are, I've done a quick search but no luck finding anything other than networking stuff. Do a forum search for 'getenv$', you're bound to find them somewhere around. |

@VIP3R You were correct. a forum search for the command returned tons of threads ... but unfortunately, none that had a complete list, only a ton of "might work", "works on XP, but maybe not XX" etc ... I needed something more "firm" In fact, I would love to see some Blitz code access the computer BIOS. That must be possible somehow. |

Here's a sample that I wrote a while ago for getting the version of Windows. At the time, I just needed to know whether the user was running 9x/ME or NT/2K/XP. You can get more granular, though. Just look up GetVersionEx on MSDN.;.lib "Kernel32.dll" ;GetVersionEx%(lpOSVersionInfo*):"GetVersionExA" Version = CreateBank(148) PokeInt(Version, 0, BankSize(Version)) If GetVersionEx(Version) Then Select PeekInt(Version, 16) Case 0 : Notify "You are running Windows 3.1" Case 1 : Notify "You are running on the Windows 9x kernel" Case 2 : Notify "You are running on the Windows NT kernel" Default : Notify "Unexpected value for Platform ID.", True End Select Else Notify "There was an error querying version info.", True EndIf |

Also, you can get processor architecture, type, etc with GetSystemInfo (kernel32) |

@Soja, I rest my case. You always provide great solutions and ideas! Excellent support. |
