Re: Identify USB Keyboard Device Instance For Each Character Dynamical

Doron,
I am also interested in this topic. Your solution sounds great and seems
well taken by the OP. But as a novice, I could not follow completely.

Can you provide more information on how to interact with registry to find
the information of the device being filtered? Is there code example for
this?

Thanks in advance.
