USB Device manufacturer name in Windows API

How can I get USB device manufacturer name through Win32 API.

I am looking for an example in Win32 API, not in .Net.

USB Device manufacturer name is embedded in USB descriptor.

Thanks

You can obtain manufacturer name of the device by using "SetupDiGetDeviceRegistryProperty" winapi.

Please refer the MSDN link for more details.

Example code :

if ( SetupDiGetDeviceRegistryProperty(hDevInfo, &spDevInfoData,SPDRP_MFG, &DataT, (PBYTE)bufManufact, sizeof(bufManufact), &nSize) ) 
{
} 
else 
{
    _tcscpy_s(bufManufact,sizeof(bufManufact)/sizeof(TCHAR),_T("Unknown"));
}

Run the USBView sample which comes with the WDK to get the manufacturer name and other information about the USB devices.
