I am working with a home-grown HID device, and I have a few questions on the description fields.
In the Device Manager, it is currently listed under Human Interface Devices. Is it possible to pull this into its own group without installing my own driver?
I'd like the user to be able to assign a friendly name to the device that I can display during enumeration, before actually connecting. What field should I use for this? I'd like to be sure that windows doesn't hold on to stale device descriptions that only differ by these names. My understanding/hope is that it makes that decision based on the Serial Number, which is invariant for the life of the instance of the product.
Thanks!
