### Querying Device Configuration Information

Once you have a driver loaded and initialized, it is sometimes useful to inform the user what type of device was detected. Once you have a pointer to the device driver initialization function group, you can use the GetConfigInfo function to get complete information about the manufacturer of the installed device, the name of the device as well as information about when the device driver was tested and certified. All the information is returned in the GA_configInfo structure, and can be obtained as follows:

ibool GetConfigInfo(GA_devCtx *dc)
{
GA_initFuncs initFuncs;
GA_configInfo info;
initFuncs.dwSize = sizeof(initFuncs);
if (!GA_queryFunctions(dc,GA_GET_INITFUNCS,&initFuncs))
return false;
info.dwSize = sizeof(info);
init.GetConfigInfo(&info);
// do something useful with the information!
return true;
}

Note: Make sure you initialize the dwSize member of the GA_configInfo structure to the size of the structure being passed to GetConfigInfo!
