Does WinRT support USB HID

Question

Hi,

I have a Windows program which read data from USB HID dongle. I want to port it to Metro style app. Does WinRT support USB HID functions (e.g. HidD_GetInputReport ,etc)

Sincerely,

Peter

 

 

Answer 1

Since directory/file access is not allowed, I'd guess that USB-access is not allowed either.

Answer 3

Hi all,

 

   I have similar (I guess) question here : http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tailoringappsfordevices/thread/29c363f4-9873-4890-9379-22e5b4f73f6f.

   Basically I fail to communicate (actually to open with CreateFile or CreateFile2) a HID device stream. I think we run in similar issue : we want to use Microsoft's HID class driver, but fail to open device stream right?

   On my side I added a DeviceCapability with HID interface class GUID, without luck..

 

Any clue on your side?

Regards,

Julien
