Re: mousefilter driver setup

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi Doron. Thank you for your response. I got little bit confused , please see
Maxim's post above it talks about diffrent architecture.I will check vhidmini
example in DDk, however I thought that I cannot implement HID system as my
low level WDM driver has high data rate transfer between HW and driver. Can
you pleas explain a little more about your suggestion?
David.

if you go this route, you will not be able to talk to the device from user
mode. i would suggest that if UM communication is required, you write a hid
miniport driver and expose 2 top level collections. one for the mouse part,
the 2nd for your UM communication. see the vhidmini sample to get started.

No, you can use the mouse _port_ - not filter - driver instead. Just
register Mouclass as upper filter and respond to Mouclass's IOCTLs, which
will
register callbacks in your driver, it will need to call them with arrays
of
MOUSE_INPUT_DATA structures.

The details are in Mouser DDK sample.

Hello there.
We are developing input device hardware - wirless pen device. Device is
NOT
HID - it sends a lot of data in bulk mode. This device is connected via
USB
to PC , I also have a low level WDM driver which transferes data from HW
to
PC and performs some calculations. I would like to simulate mouse events
in
kernel mode based on input from my device. As I understand from DDK I
shouild implement mousefilter driver and insert ti into driver stack.
This
filter will reside between my low level HW driver and mouclass.sys
default
driver. I've examined moufiltr sample in DDK and have some questions (Im
quite novice in drivers world):
1. examples referres to PS/2 mouse divices and so does inf file. Can I
use
it in my case?
2. I tried to install moufiltr ( I do not change anything) driver but it
fails to install. Error message: "A service installation section in this
INF
file is invalid"?
3. What is the best way to communicate between low level driver and mouse
filter driver?
Thnak you in advance , Davisd
