The SystemInformation Class
The process of obtaining system information, such as the amount of free drive space, is usually a somewhat tedious and difficult process. This information is generally available only through the Windows API, covered in Chapter 25, "Exploiting the Power of the Windows API." The execution of Windows API functions is best left to more advanced developers. So how can a junior developer access this important information? If the senior developer encapsulates the complex functionality of the Windows API calls in a Class module, the junior developer can obtain the system information as properties of the class.The class called SystemInformation is responsible for obtaining information about the hardware, operating system, and system resources. To obtain this information, the Declare statements, type structure declarations, and constant declarations are included in the General Declarations section of the Class module (see Listing 14.20).
The SystemInformation class contains six read-only properties: TotalMemory, AvailableMemory, OSVersion, OSBuild, OSPlatform, and Processor. These properties are set within the class and cannot be modified from outside the class. The Property Get functions for the six properties are shown in Listing 14.21.
All the work is done in the Initialize event of the class. When the class is instantiated, the Initialize event executes all the Windows API functions necessary to obtain the required system information. The Initialize event of the class is shown in Listing 14.22.
