How do I get the friendly name of a COM port in Windows?

Question

I have a GSM modem connected via USB. The modem creates 2 serial ports. The first is automatically attached to the modem, the second shows in Device Manager as \"HUAWEI Mo

Answer 1

I built a library for serial port control. It can search the friendly name in registry. Here is the link.

std::vector comPorts = SerialPort::getSerialPortList();
std::cout << comPorts[0].friendlyName << std::endl;
