Making a program detect your system specs...

[pinky4free]

Okay, everyone should know how to check your system specs through My Computer (Properties)... How would i code a program to tell me what my computer spec are... for example

cout<<"you have a"<<graphics card<<"graphics card"endl;

if i have a radeon graphics card it would tell me that, any help?

There is no generic solution to this problem, so you need to specify which O/S, inc. version, etc you are using.

And so it would probably be better to re-ask the question in the appropriate, system specific forum. Or move this thread there.

PS One of the starting points in the Windows world is the EnumDisplayDevices() call. But I think there might be a more modern way to do it for newer versions of Windows, but I'm not sure. And I have no idea what the Linux, Android, etc solution is.
