Why do you need to try this?  Maybe there is a better way.

Yes, I want use LabVIEW to detect device is connect or not.

There is another way is use devcon.exe and use labview to detect device through devcon.exe, but I do not want to rely on another software(devcon.exe).

Hi wang,

you can do the same operations DevCon does on your own. All you need to do is calling into Windows API!

Seriously: When you want to retrieve information from OS API you need to learn about this. MSDN is a great place to look for those API descriptions!
