Re: best way to launch a UI or process from a device driver ?

so i wonder if there are any other (better) ways ? such as WMI or something
like that ?

WMI events can surely help, but anyway you need the started code which will be
waiting for the WMI event. This will not give you anything, so, just start the
code anyway and use inverted call to poll the driver.


the whole trick with WMI is that it does not require your app
to stay running and listening. It will listen for you, and can start your app
even if it is not running.
Somewhat close to this are custom eventlog handlers on Vista - but much simpler :)
