Title: About usbhidio_vc6 source code
Post by: Dobaz on October 20, 2011, 11:33:00 pm

Hello again,

Is it still good to use it or is it outdated.  I mean, can I develop an app with it which will run on XP, Vista and 7 both 32 and 64 bit?

Thanks!

This might be of some help:

I haven't tested the code on Windows 7.

Thanks for the answer.

Since I am new to this, my questions and answers might a little weird but..

I understand I might have to adjust the program but if you would have to create a host soft for HID device communication for a client who pays for it,
is it a good example to start with.

I mean, since it has been written in 2005, does it uses the current (up to date) windows methods/functions, library or all the methods/functions library used in 2011 are different?

Thanks a lot

The programming for the API functions generally doesn't change over time except for things like changes to support 64 bits.

For information on programming the user interface, see:

or use .NET.
