HOWTO use DiShowUpdateDevice function?

[fulldec]

Vista has newdev.dll having some useful functions like DiShowUpdateDevice() for example. Anyway, I couldn't find any documentation on using this func. Moreover, newdev.h in my DDK (server 2003 sp1) doesn't contain such function.

The only info I got is http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa906228.aspx

Maybe someone have used this API?

Thank you.

Thanks.

Actually this func is not included in DDK, it is in WDK.

Better to set environment to Vista because this function is declared in #if WINVER>= _WINNT_LONGHORN_ ... #endif statement.

I couldn't retrieve it from newdev.lib - it is linked but linker says it's not found. But you can always get this function from Windows\system32\newdev.dll

Good luck.
