C++でCOMポートの一覧を取得する方法

方法: Windows APIを使用する方法

Windows APIを使用すると、シリアルポートの一覧を簡単に取得することができます。以下はその方法のコード例です。

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
int main() {
    std::vector<std::wstring> comPortList;
    for (int i = 1; i <= 256; i++) {
        std::wstring comPortName = L"\\\\.\\COM" + std::to_wstring(i);
        HANDLE comPortHandle = CreateFile(comPortName.c_str(), GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, NULL);

        if (comPortHandle != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) {
            comPortList.push_back(comPortName);
            CloseHandle(comPortHandle);
        }
    }
// 取得したCOMポートの一覧を表示する
    for (const auto& comPort : comPortList) {
        std::wcout << comPort << std::endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

方法: WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) を使用する方法

WMIを使用すると、COMポートの情報を取得することができます。以下はその方法のコード例です。

#include <comdef.h>
#include <Wbemidl.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#pragma comment(lib, "wbemuuid.lib")
int main() {
    HRESULT hr;
    // COMの初期化
    hr = CoInitializeEx(0, COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED);
    if (FAILED(hr)) {
        std::cerr << "Failed to initialize COM library" << std::endl;
        return 1;
    }
// WMIの初期化
    hr = CoInitializeSecurity(
        NULL,
        -1,
        NULL,
        NULL,
        RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_DEFAULT,
        RPC_C_IMP_LEVEL_IMPERSONATE,
        NULL,
        EOAC_NONE,
        NULL
    );
    if (FAILED(hr)) {
        std::cerr << "Failed to initialize security" << std::endl;
        CoUninitialize();
        return 1;
    }
// WMIサービスの取得
    IWbemLocator* pLoc = NULL;
    hr = CoCreateInstance(
        CLSID_WbemLocator,
        0,
        CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
        IID_IWbemLocator,
        (LPVOID*)&pLoc
    );
    if (FAILED(hr)) {
        std::cerr << "Failed to create IWbemLocator object" << std::endl;
        CoUninitialize();
        return 1;
    }
    IWbemServices* pSvc = NULL;
    hr = pLoc->ConnectServer(
        _bstr_t(L"ROOT\\CIMV2"),
        NULL,
        NULL,
        0,
        NULL,
        0,
        0,
        &pSvc
    );
    if (FAILED(hr)) {
        std::cerr << "Could not connect to WMI server" << std::endl;
        pLoc->Release();
        CoUninitialize();
        return 1;
    }
// WMIクエリの作成
    IEnumWbemClassObject* pEnumerator = NULL;
    hr = pSvc->ExecQuery(
        _bstr_t("WQL"),
        _bstr_t("SELECT * FROM Win32_PnPEntity WHERE Name LIKE '%(COM%'"),
        WBEM_FLAG_FORWARD_ONLY | WBEM_FLAG_RETURN_IMMEDIATELY,
        NULL,
        &pEnumerator
    );
    if (FAILED(hr)) {
        std::cerr << "Query failed" << std::endl;
        pSvc->Release();
        pLoc->Release();
        CoUninitialize();
        return 1;
    }
// 取得したCOMポートの一覧を表示する
    IWbemClassObject* pclsObj = NULL;
    ULONG uReturn = 0;
    std::vector<std::wstring> comPortList;
    while (pEnumerator) {
        hr = pEnumerator->Next(WBEM_INFINITE, 1, &pclsObj, &uReturn);

Title: How to Retrieve a List of COM Ports in C++ - Code Examples Included
Tags: C++, COM Ports, Serial Communication, Port Enumeration
Content:
Introduction:
In this blog post, we will explore different methods to retrieve a list of COM ports in C++ and provide code examples for each method. COM ports are commonly used for serial communication, and knowing how to enumerate them can be useful in various applications.
Method 1: Using the Windows API
The Windows API provides functions to interact with COM ports. By iterating through possible port numbers, you can check if a port is available and add it to a list. Here's a code example:

// Include necessary headers

int main() { // Create a vector to store the COM port names

// Iterate through possible port numbers

    // Create the COM port name

    // Attempt to open the COM port

    // If the COM port is valid, add it to the list

// Display the list of COM ports

return 0;

}

Method 2: Using WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation)
WMI provides a powerful interface for retrieving system information, including COM ports. By executing a WMI query, you can obtain a list of COM ports. Here's a code example:

// Include necessary headers

int main() { // Initialize COM

// Initialize security

// Obtain the WMI service

// Connect to the WMI server

// Create a WMI query

// Execute the WMI query

// Iterate through the query results

    // Get the COM port name and add it to the list

// Display the list of COM ports

return 0;

}



Conclusion:
In this blog post, we explored two methods to retrieve a list of COM ports in C++. The first method utilized the Windows API, allowing you to iterate through possible port numbers and check their availability. The second method involved using WMI to execute a query and obtain the list of COM ports. Depending on your requirements and the available libraries, you can choose the most suitable method for your application.

Note: Remember to include the necessary headers and handle any error conditions in your actual implementation.

Please note that the code examples provided are simplified and may require additional error handling and modifications based on your specific use case.
