Thank you all for great support, my vjoy driver is working great. I have one more question about assigning hardware ids in my inf and for TLCs. Based on what I read here’s my understanding, please confirm:
For an HID class mini port driver that I have build …
- In the inf file for my driver under [Vendor] section the hardware id can be anything I make up. For ex:
[Vendor.NT$ARCH$]
%vjoy% = vjoy.Inst, HID\MyVJoy
- When creating hardware id for a TLC I should follow the guidelines as outline in WDK documentation (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff538842(v=vs.85).aspx).
Therefore, for my device the hardware ID should be in the format (device with single TLC):
HID\Vid_v(4)&Pid_d(4)&Rev_r(4)
Please confirm.
What I noticed in device manager though, HID devices use same hardware id for HID driver and their TLC.
Is this best practice?
They should be different IDs differentiating only on the enumerator string, the parent is <bar>, the TLC will be HID<bar>
