Try looking up "WMI" at http://www.mvps.org for samples on these.

I'm not sure how, but I remember in VB6 that if you added frmAbout Form, it contained a section 'System Info'.

Take a look at the code behind it.

Hope this helps

Martin, this calls on the windows system information program - it's a bit like the shell command calling on another program to get this information so thiswon't really help this time. :)

Course if he does use that one it'd save him a load of coding ;)

You need IS-IT-Legit for that.
Only €1300 for a site license ;)

I would do but it doesnt compare what i've got listed in my asset register with what it returns!
Come on it ppl are lazy!! :p

Thanks alex. I was assuming WMI has to be installed on 98 and NT though!

Well

The Microsoft SysInfo control provides a great way of gathering system information

James but it doesnt supply this information.
As far as i can gather!

Well

Found this in a search :

A DLL file (moo.dll) with example. Will return your Operating System, Processor, Memory Information, Hard
Drive Information (sample only shows drive C:\) Display Settings and
Network Interface Information.

Beacon, I can send you on some source from IS-IT-Legit that will get that info if you want.
All done through VB

I really want to write a program that can do such stuff mind sending me the code plenderj (jamie right?)? can you send it to [email protected] ???? that would be really really nice of you if you did that :D :cool:

btw why is it always that when you ask for something some people just point you to programs thata allready exist and can be downloaded while we want a source or something? :confused: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Well

Ultimasnake : People are here to offer suggestions to your problems. Some may provide source code, other dll or ocx, while others may recommend applications. It's all help...;)

Thats true , but shouldnt vb related stuff be vb source related? any program can be written in any language.. but i understand it, just think it is rather anoying sometimes.. when i ask for a way to get the computers name people say things like : download computer info , it's just 800 mb and costs only $1.000.000 .. :rolleyes: ... neway... i understand :P

Hye Guy's

To clarify i've been contacting with Jamie for months now so his offer was legit (pun intended) it was a kind of jest! :)

Jamie:
ONE BIG THING!
IS-IT-Legit NEEDS TO plug into or run with A.D do this using ADSI!

I've just been getting into this myself http://216.26.168.92/vbsquare/demos/...Admin.cls.html
or "Windows NT/2000 ADSI Scripting for System Administration" by Macmillan Technical Publishing ISBN: 1-57870-219-4 is a fantastic resource for ADSI scripting with vb! ;)

Hi Beacon

I use this informations in a application. I downloaded from API.COM the code for it.

nice greetings

I think you can use SysInfo to get OS and service pack, Um, the code below is to get RAM, available RAM, and Vram and such:'
(for this example you need to have label1)

VB Code:

Option Explicit
Private Declare Sub GlobalMemoryStatus Lib "kernel32" (lpBuffer As MEMORYSTATUS)
 
Private Type MEMORYSTATUS
        dwLength As Long
        dwMemoryLoad As Long
        dwTotalPhys As Long
        dwAvailPhys As Long
        dwTotalPageFile As Long
        dwAvailPageFile As Long
        dwTotalVirtual As Long
        dwAvailVirtual As Long
End Type
 
Private memInfo As MEMORYSTATUS
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
Call GlobalMemoryStatus(memInfo)
memInfo.dwLength = Len(memInfo)
Label1 = Int((memInfo.dwTotalPhys / 1024) / 1024) & " MB of RAM"
End Sub

I have used this (got most of it from thsi board - thanks guys)

Creat a form, call it frmmain, ad a text box - call it text1, and creat a command button - call it command 1.

Past this into the form and you shoulf be good to go..

Hopefully it will provide all the info you need..
