HID Driver Catalog Items and Sysgen Variables (Compact 7)
3/12/2014
In Windows Embedded Compact, you can implement support for connecting a Windows Embedded Compact powered device to an interactive input device by using a human interface device (HID) device driver and parsing data from the driver by using the HID parser functions.
For adding the Bluetooth wireless technology HID profile for connecting to an HID device over Bluetooth wireless technology, see Bluetooth Catalog Items and Sysgen Variables.
For more information, see HID Drivers and HID Parsers.
For more information about how to add or remove catalog items, see Design Your First OS.
Hardware and Software Requirements
- Requires an interactive input device that supports the Device Class Definition for Human Interface Devices specification.
Catalog Items and Sysgen Variables
