How do I get the actual Monitor name? as seen in the resolution dialog

Question

I am trying to grab the friendly name for the monitors on my system. I am using C#.

I have tried Screen, which just gives me //./DisplayXX.

Answer 1

I have been seraching for an answer to this same question. In this link it is mentioned that generic pnp monitor is shown, because there is no driver installed for the monitor and the device is running with the Generic PnP Monitor Driver.

For windows 7 and higher there seems to be a different function than EnumDisplayDevices to get the desired display names as shown in the control panel. This can be done with the DisplayConfigGetDeviceInfo function as explained here. I hope someone soon can translate this to Delphi, which I am looking for.
