CM_Disable_DevNode function

The CM_Disable_DevNode function disables a device.

  _In_ ULONG   ulFlags
);

Parameters

dnDevInst [in]

Device instance handle that is bound to the local machine.

ulFlags [in]

Disable flags:

CM_DISABLE_UI_NOT_OK: Do not display any interface to the user if the attempt to disable the device fails.
CM_DISABLE_PERSIST: Disables the device across reboots.

Return value

If the operation succeeds, the function returns CR_SUCCESS. Otherwise, it returns one of the CR_-prefixed error codes defined in Cfgmgr32.h.
