Re: WM_DEVICECHANGE PARAMETERS

yes, of course you can register for multiple notifications. for keyboards you should GUID_DEVINTERFACE_KEYBOARD, not the HID guid.

Hi,
I need to monitor several types of devices at the same time :
- keyboard (not all HID's)
- Comports
- Disks

Can I register multiple times for this ?

Greetings,
Rob.

you need to register with a specific device interface. this tells you the
type of device. once you have the devicce instance path on the arrival
notification you can use setupdi to open up the properties for the device
and read the "ComPort" property (for a COM port)
