how to get vendor id and product id of a plugged usb device on windows

Question

I am using Qt on windows platform.

i want to get and display vendor id and product id of a plugged usb device from my local system.

Below is my full source code to get the vendor id and product id from the usb device.

when i run the my qt application it does not throw me any errors .

so i plug the usb device into the system.

but my print statement displays the result as below

qDebug ()<<pDetData->DevicePath;

i get the result as 0x4

Whether i have any implementation mistakes in my source code ?

if so please guide me what i am doing wrong..

Have i missed out any other functions ?

Is it possible to get the vendor id and product id from the usb device based on my source code .( my implementation of the code ) ?

kindly find my source code below

static GUID GUID_DEVINTERFACE_USB_DEVICE = { 0xA5DCBF10L, 0x6530, 0x11D2,

Hi... the application comes and prints this

\?\usb#vid_04f2&pid_0111#5&1ba5a77f&0&2#{a5dcbf1 0-6530-11d2-901f-00c04fb951ed}

again it goes to while loop .... here it gets breaked in the else statement...

Qt Code:

if (GetLastError() == ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER) { 
    // Change the buffer size. 
    if (buffer) LocalFree(buffer); 
    buffer = (LPTSTR)LocalAlloc(LPTR,buffersize); 
} else { 
    qDebug ()<<"Here it quits the application"; 
    // Insert error handling here. break; 
} 

Any ideas in this....

Answer 1

After this line:

SP_DEVICE_INTERFACE_DETAIL_DATA *pDetData = NULL;

Add this:

DWORD dwDetDataSize = sizeof (SP_DEVICE_INTERFACE_DETAIL_DATA) + 256;
pDetData = (_SP_DEVICE_INTERFACE_DETAIL_DATA_A*) malloc (dwDetDataSize);
pDetData->cbSize = sizeof (SP_DEVICE_INTERFACE_DETAIL_DATA);

After this line:

qDebug ()<<pDetData->DevicePath;

Add this:

free(pDetData);

But eventually you're going to have to read the docs for SetupDiGetDeviceInterfaceDetail(). Do it, there are lots of functions that work like this, with pointers to variable-size structs.

You're really going about this the wrong way. I see you're following the advice you got here, and it's taken you down the wrong path. idVendor and idProduct can only be found in the USB_DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR (MSDN).

It looks like you already know how to get the device handle (using CreateFile()). After that, you call WinUsb_Initialize() (MSDN). That gets you a WINUSB_INTERFACE_HANDLE.

Once you have that handle, you want to call WinUsb_GetDescriptor() (MSDN), with the DescriptorType set to URB_FUNCTION_GET_DESCRIPTOR_FROM_DEVICE. I can't test code now, but it will look something like this:

USB_DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR udd;
memset(&udd, 0, sizeof(udd));
ULONG LengthTransferred = 0;

WinUsb_GetDescriptor(
    winusb_interface_handle, // returned by WinUsbInitialize
    URB_FUNCTION_GET_DESCRIPTOR_FROM_DEVICE,
    0,     // not sure if we need this
    0x409, // not sure if we need this
    &udd,
    sizeof(udd),
    &LengthTransferred);

After that, udd->idVendor and udd->idProduct should have what you want.

Microsoft used to supply sample code for all this in the DDK, and probably still does, but I don't have access to one.

---------- Edited to add: ----------

Daniel K writes that the code should really be:

USB_DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR udd;
memset(&udd, 0, sizeof(udd));
ULONG LengthTransferred = 0;

WinUsb_GetDescriptor(
    winusb_interface_handle,    // returned by WinUsbInitialize
    USB_DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE, // Daniel K's suggestion
    0,
    0x409,     // asks for English
    &udd,
    sizeof(udd),
    &LengthTransferred);

See the comments for further details.

Answer 2

An alternative is to obtain the hardwareID which includes the VID and PID.

Call SetupDiGetDeviceRegistryProperty with SPDRP_HARDWAREID like so:

wchar_t *hardwareID;

// First get requiredLength
SetupDiGetDeviceRegistryProperty(deviceInfoList, &deviceInfoData, SPDRP_HARDWAREID, NULL, NULL, 0, &requiredLength);

hardwareID = (wchar_t*)(new char[requiredLength]());

// Second call to populate hardwareID
SetupDiGetDeviceRegistryProperty(deviceInfoList, &deviceInfoData, SPDRP_HARDWAREID, NULL, (PBYTE)hardwareID, requiredLength, NULL);

// Display the string
qDebug() << "hardwareID =" << QString::fromWCharArray(hardwareID);

This will give you a string like USB\ROOT_HUB20&VID1002&PID4396&REV0000 which you can parse.

*Note: not all devices will have a VID and PID, such as non-USB devices.
