Hi All,
Many threads in this forum mentioned that Metro Style App could not access virtual driver.
However, I created a filter driver and accessed it in Metro Style App successfully.
Here is what I did:
1. Create a filter driver. This driver does not communicate with any hardware.
2. Install this driver to a hardware. (Actually this driver have nothing to do with the hardware.)
3. Config the driver metadata package and App.
Then, the app could access the driver.
So, I was wondering what does virtual driver means.
Apparently, virtual driver does not means a filter driver or a driver that does not communicate with hardware.
Does virtual driver means a driver that was installed without a hardware ? And then if we reinstall that driver with a hardware, the driver becomes a non-virtual driver ?
If there is no hardware along with the driver, we could not config the driver metadata package, so Metro Style App could not access the driver.
Is it true ?
Regards
Cary
