cant get handle to the USB HID??
« on: January 03, 2012, 04:18:50 am »
hello,
i am working on a USB HID device. it's a proximity device which detects the person's distance and fire keystrokes accordingly. i want the handle for the device so that i can perform the read and write operations over it.
i am using Hid.dll , Setupapi.dll , kernel32.dll. when i am using the CreateFile function, it is reaturning the invalid handle. can anybody help me in this regard.
the code is written below:-

If your HID enumerates as a system keyboard, use Raw Input instead of the HID API.

thanks for the reply JAN.
let me explain you about the device. it's a proximity device. User configures the keystrokes from the application provided with the device. As soon as user gets away from the range of the device, the device fires the keystrokes that were configured and saved by the user in the device. The device don't have any keys in it. It just fires the keystrokes configured and saved in it. The device has just the sensor in it.

If the device's descriptors cause the host computer to see the device as a system keyboard, you need to use Raw Input or other means to read the keypresses, not the HID API. Whether it's a conventional keyboard doesn't matter. For example, many barcode scanners enumerate as system keyboards.

See if it shows up as a keyboard in Windows Device Manager.

This is how my device enumerates in the device manager. (see the attached image)
It is when i VIEW the device "By CONNECTION" in device manager.

View "by type" and see if it shows up as a keyboard.

If the keyboard device disappears when you detach your device, it's a keyboard.

yes. it gets disappear when i de-attached the device.
so what should i use to read/write and registering the device? HID API's or RAW INPUT?

ok. but i dont think that we can write data with RAW INPUT. can we?

Just input. If you want to read and write, make it a generic HID and use the HID API. See my firmware for example descriptors:
