Hello All,
The sample notify object provided in the WDK 8.1 uses ATL COM interface for communication. As it cannot be compiled with Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Express Desktop version, I am not able to test it to understand it functionality.
I wanted to know that is there any other way to get the notify object compiled? Also can we write a notify object without using the ATL COM interface so that it can be compiled with freely available tools?
Regards,
Gaurav
You can write a Notify Object in any way you wish so long as it implements the required COM interfaces.
It is pretty clearly documented in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn653318(v=vs.85).aspx that VS2013 Express will not support compiling samples using ATL.
You option is to get VS 2013 Professional or write it from scratch without ATL.
As for understanding its functionality I imagine you can get the VS2013 Pro Trial edition.
Good Luck,
Dave Cattley
