Apologies if this is the wrong forum I am not entirely sure what category this question properly falls under. If someone suggests a better list, I will move the question there.
I want to obtain the name of a display (monitor) by manufacturer and brand. Most (not all) displays report this using EDID. Examining ³Graphics² in the System Profiler shows that higher-level software can access this info, since System Profiler (And System Prefs ³Displays² pane) report it. I have looked in bewilderment at the documentation for IOKit (IOFrameBuffer in particular), and seen the ³getDDCBlock² function that gets the raw EDID info. I have no idea how to actually implement that or translate the result. So my question: (1) Is there a ³higher level² method of obtaining the brand/model of the displays e.g., from the system preferences? (2) Does anyone have an example of code that they are willing to share that shows accessing the EDID info? Thanks, and apologies if I am spamming the wrong list here. (Note, I am aware of the CGVendorNumber and CGModelNumber functions. If someone knows a header file or similar that translates the numbers to actual names, that would work too, but AFAICT, these functions only return code numbers). _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
