header file conflict in VC++6.0[WinXP]

That is a problem, as both files define these status macros. Quick solution - if you have

#include <windows.h>
//...
#include "hidsdi.h"

change it to

#include <windows.h>
//...
#define WIN32_NO_STATUS
#include "hidsdi.h"
#undef WIN32_NO_STATUS

I gave it a go but it didn't make any difference??

any other ideas??

Thanks

Did you do a 'clean' before building the project again?

Yes,

I did a clean...

I only posted 2 of the errrors I actually get the following list,

Ooops - you are not supposed to have DDK headers in your VC6 include directory, this will cause *tons* of other problems...

Do you know how I can solve this?

Do I have to get my hands on the MS DDK, or can I simply delete these DDK headers from the include directory and if I do this where do I put them?

Sorry for the idiot questions!!!

Thanks
J

>>can I simply delete these DDK headers from the include directory

Nope, you most likely have already overwritten a few - the DDK headers include e.g. a 'winnt.h' also. If they came separately, see which files you copied there. Usually, you would keep all of them in a separate directory. BTW, I just noticed that 'hidsdi.h' also is a DDK file - why would you need to include that?

Here is my code

I am going to reinstall VC++, hopefully this will restore all to the way it was before!

Do I need to get MSDDK? as I just downloaded the ddk files from the net and copied them to my vc++ include folder?

Thanks again

>>Do I need to get MSDDK?

Only if you want to create a device driver.

>>GUID hidGUID; //declaring GUID, this is where the problem starts  

If you need the declarations for GUID, include 'objbase.h'.

I don't need to create a device driver just need to get read access to a usb device.
I need to declare "HidD_GetHidGuid()" amoung others.

As far as I know this belongs to 'hidsdi.h'?

>>I need to declare "HidD_GetHidGuid()" amoung others.
>>As far as I know this belongs to 'hidsdi.h'?

Hmm, 'hidsdi.h' does not use 'ntstatus.h', so this file should not be the problem...

but hidsdi.h calls hidusage.h and "hidpi.h" which in turn call other .h files which use ntstatus.h and this brings me back to my original errors...

I think I need the MSDDK as this contains all these files?

>>I think I need the MSDDK as this contains all these files?

Yes, or just extract the declaration:

void __stdcall
HidD_GetHidGuid (
    LPGUID   HidGuid
   );

i extracted the function void __stdcall HidD_GetHidGuid ( LPGUID   HidGuid);
It works...

But when I try to pass HidGuid into it I get an error

ERROR:

I must be doing something stupid?? Have been working on this for the past few hours now and still no sucess.
Thanks for your time
 

You need to either add a .lib file or load the DLL the function resides in dynamically. The lib would either be hidclass.lib or hidparse.lib (give it a try, I really don't know which one it is)

HidD_GetHidGuid() is probably a function with C namemangling and the declaration shoud be inside extern "C".

JensUniweb I put the code in an extern "C", unfortunately it had no effect...

jkr, i think you are on the right track, the HidD_GetHidGuid() function resides in hid.lib but  how do I load it dynamically? I looked on the net for info on this but got nothing?

To load it dynamicly you have to do a loadlibrary() and then a getprocaddress().

Do you know the name in the .dll file. Is it like _Hid... or just Hid.... If it is without the _ you problably need to use __winapi or something like that. Not puting the _ infront of the name looking for it in the dll.

All this is called namemangling.

the file is just "hid.dll".

do I pass the lib name into the loadlibrary function and then call get procaddress?

loadlibrary("hid.dll");
getprocaddress();

Or how do i do it??

Thanks

extern "C" void __stdcall HidD_GetHidGuid ( LPGUID   HidGuid );

That should do the trick to compile. If the name in the .lib/.def is HidD_GetHidGuid with no _ infront and no C++ namemangling.

I am still having problems using LoadLibrary,

This is the code I am using.
LoadLibrary("G:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Lib\hid.dll");

HHMODULE hModule=GetModuleHandle("G:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Lib\hid.dll");

GetProcAddress(hModule,HidD_GetHidGuid);

GUID HidGuid; //Parameter I need to pass to the HidD_Get... function
HidD_GetHidGuid(&HidGuid); //This is the function I need access to!

OUTSIDE MAIN
extern "C" void __stdcall HidD_GetHidGuid (LPGUID   HidGuid);

The compiler errors i recieve are
error C2065: 'HHMODULE' : undeclared identifier
error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'hModule'
error C2065: 'hModule' : undeclared identifier
error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'struct HINSTANCE__ *' to 'int'
error C2065: 'HidD_GetHidGuid' : undeclared identifier

>>This is the code I am using.

This should be more like

typedef void ( __stdcall *pfnHidD_GetHidGuid) ( LPGUID   HidGuid );

HINSTANCE hDll = LoadLibrary("hid.dll");

pfnHidD_GetHidGuid pHidD_GetHidGuid = GetProcAddress(hModule,"HidD_GetHidGuid");

GUID HidGuid; //Parameter I need to pass to the HidD_Get... function
pHidD_GetHidGuid(&HidGuid); //This is the function I need access to!

I am still not getting this... Below is my code... Can you understand what is happening???

I am sorry to annoy you again so ill throw in an extra 100 points...
This is really bugging me so your help is really appreciated,
Thanks again,
J


int main
{
HINSTANCE hDll = LoadLibrary("hid.dll");
HHMODULE hModule=GetModuleHandle("hid.dll");
pfnHidD_GetHidGuid pHidD_GetHidGuid = GetProcAddress(hModule,"HidD_GetHidGuid");

//FUNCTION I NEED ACCESS TO
GUID HidGuid;
HidD_GetHidGuid(&HidGuid);

      
}

Use

typedef void ( __stdcall *pfnHidD_GetHidGuid) ( LPGUID   HidGuid );

HINSTANCE hDll = LoadLibrary("hid.dll");

pfnHidD_GetHidGuid pHidD_GetHidGuid = GetProcAddress(hDll,"HidD_GetHidGuid");

GUID HidGuid;
pHidD_GetHidGuid(&HidGuid);

There is no such thing as a HHMODULE and also no need to call 'GetModuleHandle()'

Thanks,

that has brought me down to one error
with the following line of code
//************************************

Thanks a million JKR, At long last its working.

I'll up the point 100 for this next question...
 
I need to do the same for the following function

"BOOLEAN HidD_GetAttributes(IN HANDLE  HidDeviceObject,OUT PHIDD_ATTRIBUTES  Attributes);"

This is the code I have tried:
int main{

typedef struct _HIDD_ATTRIBUTES {
  ULONG  Size;
  USHORT  VendorID;
  USHORT  ProductID;
  USHORT  VersionNumber;
} HIDD_ATTRIBUTES, *PHIDD_ATTRIBUTES;

pfnHidD_GetAttributes pHidD_GetAttributes = (pfnHidD_GetAttributes) GetProcAddress(hDll,"HidD_GetHidGuid");
pfnHidD_GetAttributes(&HidDeviceObject,&Attributes);

}

: error C2091: function returns function

: error C2065: 'Attributes' : undeclared identifier
: error C2564: 'int (__cdecl *(__stdcall *)(void *))(struct main::_HIDD_ATTRIBUTES *)' : function-style conversion to builtin type takes only one argument

Thanks a million....

All is working for now!

You're welcome :o)

Hi XPUSR,
I have some questions about USB and I hope you would help me.
My email is : Ayd192@Hotmail.com

Thanx

sir,
  what are the nescessary things to develop a Device driver program.specifically USB.Is it possible to design a device driver using MFC,without DDK.please send me a sample code with explanation.

with regards,
Antony

sir,
     when i run my simple USB program,there are some errors in winddk.h.please tell me how can i rectify it.whare i can get windows DDK. My mail id : maharaj_be@yahoo.co.in

Antony
