# SetupDiGetClassDevs

### C# Signature:

```cs
[DllImport("setupapi.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
static extern IntPtr SetupDiGetClassDevs(
                                              ref Guid ClassGuid,
                                              [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPTStr)] string Enumerator,
                                              IntPtr hwndParent,
                                              uint Flags
                                             );
```

### Alternate Signatures:

```cs
[DllImport("setupapi.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
static extern IntPtr SetupDiGetClassDevs(           // 1st form using a ClassGUID only, with null Enumerator
   ref Guid ClassGuid,
   IntPtr Enumerator,
   IntPtr hwndParent,
   int Flags
);

[DllImport("setupapi.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]     // 2nd form uses an Enumerator only, with null ClassGUID 
static extern IntPtr SetupDiGetClassDevs(
   IntPtr ClassGuid,
   [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPTStr)] string Enumerator,
   IntPtr hwndParent,
   int Flags
);
```

### Alternate Signatures:

```cs
[Flags]
        public enum DiGetClassFlags : uint {
            DIGCF_DEFAULT       = 0x00000001,  // only valid with DIGCF_DEVICEINTERFACE
            DIGCF_PRESENT       = 0x00000002,
            DIGCF_ALLCLASSES    = 0x00000004,
            DIGCF_PROFILE       = 0x00000008,
