Re: Getting Display Names
Perfect! Thank you. Is this documented anywhere? Not even IORegistryExplorer appears to display this dictionary. There is no technote documenting the procedure, but both IODisplayCreateInfoDictionary and CGDisplayIOServicePort are in public headers, so it is safe to use. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: Getting Display Names
Are these names only accessible from private frameworks or is there an
AppKit or CoreGraphics API I have yet to stumble across that maps the
display unit number or display ID to a localized (or not) display name?
The answer is in I/O Kit:
#import IOKit/graphics/IOGraphicsLib.h
#import IOKit/graphics/IOGraphicsTypes.h
NSString* screenNameForDisplayID(CGDirectDisplayID displayID)
{
NSDictionary *deviceFullDescription = (NSDictionary *)
IODisplayCreateInfoDictionary(CGDisplayIOServicePort(displayID), kNilOptions
);
if (deviceFullDescription == nil) {
return nil;
}
NSDictionary *localizedNames = [deviceFullDescription objectForKey
:@kDisplayProductName];
if ([localizedNames count] 1) {
return nil;
}
NSString *languageKey = nil;
for (NSString *preferredLanguage in [NSLocale preferredLanguages]) {
for (NSString *localeIdentifier in [localizedNames allKeys]) {
if ([[[NSLocale componentsFromLocaleIdentifier
:preferredLanguage] objectForKey:NSLocaleLanguageCode] isEqualToString:[[
NSLocale componentsFromLocaleIdentifier:localeIdentifier] objectForKey:
NSLocaleLanguageCode]]) {
languageKey = localeIdentifier;
goto exit;
}
}
}
exit:
return [localizedNames objectForKey:languageKey ? languageKey :
[[localizedNames allKeys] objectAtIndex:0]];
}

Getting Display Names
I have established for system displays the ability to retrieve numerical IDs (unit number, vendor number, display ID, etc.) for the main and auxiliary displays attached to the system; however, I cannot seem to find an ability to get the localized name associated with the display (Cinema, Cinema Display, Color LCD, etc.). Are these names only accessible from private frameworks or is there an AppKit or CoreGraphics API I have yet to stumble across that maps the display unit number or display ID to a localized (or not) display name?
