Hi,

You can use the win32_desktopmo nitor class to get the monitor type.
I do not see any way to get the serial number. Add a reference to
system.manageme nt.dll.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...topmonitor.asp
Dim moReturn As Management.Mana gementObjectCol lection

Dim moSearch As Management.Mana gementObjectSea rcher

Dim mo As Management.Mana gementObject

moSearch = New Management.Mana gementObjectSea rcher("Select * from
Win32_DesktopMo nitor")

moReturn = moSearch.Get

For Each mo In moReturn

Debug.WriteLine (mo("Name"))

Debug.Indent()

Debug.WriteLine (mo("MonitorMan ufacturer"))

Debug.WriteLine (mo("MonitorTyp e"))

Debug.Unindent( )

Next

Ken

Hi Yavuz,

I never saw a monitor serial number in a window.

Can you give an example where you saw that serial number presented on the
screen, till now I had always to use the TA module. Turn Around.

Than I could mostly read it on the monitor, although sometimes it was with
the TDU module, Turn downside up.

But I am really curious where you saw this?
