- Hi
-
- How does one get an handle to a device? Using OpenFile?
-
- A device driver must create a device object (by calling IoCreateDevice) so that
- it can accept DeviceIoControl calls. The name it specifies while creating the
- device object is UNICODE. OpenFile accepts only Win3.1 compatible names. Is that
- a problem?
-
- Thanks for any replies.....
