Hi,
I have to develop the keyboard driver for Windows 98 OS. I am explaining my requirement briefly.
In Windows 98 OS, when we press “Power” or “Sleep” key (ACPI Power Management keys) in a PC98 keyboard, the system will go to sleep mode i.e, both Sleep & Power keys behave in the same fashion. If we press Wakeup key, the system will again comeback to preveious working status. I have to develop the keyboard driver for Windows 98 OS of which the keyboard should behave in the following way.
While pressing Power key, the system should go to shutdown mode (Win 98 OS doesn’t support this feature whereas Win 2000 Prof / Win Me support this function of Power key act as Shut down key. When we press Power key under Win 98, " Shut down Windows" screen (Winows Start/Shut down) should open and it should ask for the user’s choice to proceed.
Pl. provide some inputs for building the keyboard driver as per the above requirement. I have gone through sample programs and “Programming Windows Driver Model” book by Mr. Walter Oney but there is no such driver as per my requirement. Can you pl. provide some inputs /source code related to keyboard driver development? Also pl. instruct what are all my requirements for developing the software.
Pl. revert at the earliest.
Best Regards,
R.Sheyamala

Hi,
Win2000 DDK provides a sample keyboard filter driver
in the \src\input\kbfiltr directory. Probably this is
what you will need. This driver lets you hook to the
keyboard’s ISR and keyboard packet report chain. In
the ISR of this driver you can filter the keys you
need to do any additional processing.
