hello,
We wanted to know whether it is possible to capture events
like if a keyboard is removed while the computer is still ON. We tried
out a couple of classes like Win32_Keyboard (used C#) , but it gave
only static information i.e eventhough the keyboard was disconnected
the Win32_Keyboard class showed that it is connected.We also tried to
use some of the Event classes like Win32_DeviceChangeEvent but this
class also works for only USB devices like pendrives. Actually we are
using PS/2 keyboard and Mouse. Does WMI support the Events generated
by PS/2 devices?
We are also confused about a fact that, whether
plugging and unplugging of a Keyboard is termed as Plug and Play? or
is it called as Hot plugging? If one removes a Keyboard or a mouse
while the Computer is still ON, does the Windows Operating System
recieve some Hardware Event, if it gets such an event from where can
we get the details of such an Event.
