Read Timeout?
« on: December 13, 2011, 07:31:07 pm »
I'm looking to implement a read timeout on the host for my HID device.  Do you have any of your examples implement this?

I tried wrapping the file handle in a FileStream, but the created stream doesn't support timeouts. 

Thank You

Eric,

I would think that you are after the overlapped call to CreateFile, and subsequent ReadFile call and then use the WaitForSingleObject to set a timeout. Jan has an example of this here:

Check the Usbhidio_vc6 link down the page.

Yes, and my Filestream example uses a timeout as well. Both are here:
