Does anyone know the correct way to request a reboot after a change in your
device’s property page?

SP_DEVINSTALL_PARAMS dip;

ZeroMemory(&dip, sizeof(dip));
dip.cbSize = sizeof(dip);

SetupDiGetDeviceInstallParams(DeviceInfoSet,

dip.Flags |= DI_NEEDREBOOT;

SetupDiSetDeviceInstallParams(DeviceInfoSet,

That is an approximation of the code that the ps/2 mouse property page uses when you change a property. The ps/2 page calls this set of code during PSN_APPLY (a sub message of WM_NOTIFY) and it works w/out a hitch. You can test it out yourself if a ps/2 mouse is attached to your machine.

I just tried it out on xp gold and xpsp1 and both asked for a reboot; if I answered Yes, everything shut down just fine and device manager / mmc didn’t complain about any open prop sheets.

Ok, I tried doing that in the dialog procedure and in the dialog’s callback
procedure (in response to the PSPCB_RELEASE message), but the problem I
found was that windows tried to reboot immediately before closing the
property page properly. Windows (mmc.exe) then complains that there are
still open property pages.
