I saw several examples where the list of the source names were took from registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC Data Sources). Is there any other way to get the list of ODBC data sources names?
I need to work only with Delphi standard components, so I can not use 3d party solutions.

1. Click the Windows "Start" button and then click "Control Panel." Click "System and Security." Click "Administrative Tools" in the list of utilities. Double-click the icon labeled "Data Sources (ODBC)." A list of DSNs display.
On the Start menu, click Control Panel. In Control Panel, click Administrative Tools. In Administrative Tools, click Data Sources (ODBC).
A data source name (DSN) is a data structure that contains the information about a specific database that an Open Database Connectivity ( ODBC ) driver needs in order to connect to it.
You have to use SQLDataSources function from ODBC32.DLL. For example.
