I have a customer who is installing software on the MC9090 and the Intermec CK61 and would like to know how to query the device to determine the manufacturer and/or model #. Is there registry entry with this info or a standard Microsoft API call? Thanks!

One way to accomplish this is to use the Microsoft SystemParametersInfo() API with the uiAction parameter set to SPI_GETOEMINFO. This will return a string of OEM Information for any Windows CE Device. The information will be equivalent to what you would see if you went to the Control Panel->System Info Applet and looked at the OEM Name and OEM Version information. To determine a Symbol Device, our OEM Name usually starts with "SYMBOL" and included the model (such as "MC70" or "MC9090"). Intermec devices usually include "INTERMEC" in the OEM Name which is return by this API. Search for SystemParameterInfo in MSDN for more details.
