    - DrvStartDoc -> pwszDocName == NULL Hi I wrote a printer driver and a port monitor for virtual devices (both). Now... if I "connect" my printer to the "print to file" port (the standard port from Windows), I get in my printer driver a call to DrvStartDoc with the document name in pwszDocName and at the end a DrvEndDoc... that's it. But when I "connect" my printer driver to my port monitor, I get this: VirtualPrinter.dll -> graphics dll of my printer VirtualPrinterUI.dll -> UI dll of my printer After the call to DrvStartDocPort (PortMonitor), this happens: 'VirtualPrinter.dll' (0x734): DrvDisablePDEV 'VirtualPrinter.dll' (0x4d0): DllMain - default 'VirtualPrinterUI.dll' (0x4d0): DllMain - DLL_THREAD_DETACH Der Thread 'Win32 Thread' (0x4d0) hat mit Code 0 (0x0) geendet.

'VirtualPrinter.dll' (0x448): DrvCompletePDEV 'VirtualPrinter.dll' (0x448): DrvEnableSurface 'VirtualPrinter.dll' (0x448): ERROR_SUCCESS and now, the next call comes with pwszDocName == NULL 'VirtualPrinter.dll' (0x448): DrvStartDoc 'VirtualPrinter.dll' (0x448): ERROR_SUCCESS 'VirtualPrinterUI.dll' (0x448): DrvDocumentEvent 'VirtualPrinterUI.dll' (0x448): iEsc = DOCUMENTEVENT_RESETDCPRE 'VirtualPrinter.dll' (0x448): DrvEnablePDEV 'VirtualPrinter.dll' (0x448): ERROR_SUCCESS 'VirtualPrinter.dll' (0x448): DrvCompletePDEV 'VirtualPrinter.dll' (0x448): DrvDisableSurface 'VirtualPrinter.dll' (0x448): DrvDisablePDEV 'VirtualPrinter.dll' (0x448): DrvEnableSurface 'VirtualPrinter.dll' (0x448): ERROR_SUCCESS 'VirtualPrinterUI.dll' (0x448): DrvDocumentPropertySheets 'VirtualPrinterUI.dll' (0x448): pPSUIInfo = 0 'VirtualPrinterUI.dll' (0x448): pDPH->fMode = 0 'VirtualPrinterUI.dll' (0x448): pDPH->pdmOut = 0 'VirtualPrinterUI.dll' (0x448): DrvDocumentPropertySheets 'VirtualPrinterUI.dll' (0x448): pPSUIInfo = 0 'VirtualPrinterUI.dll' (0x448): pDPH->fMode = a 'VirtualPrinterUI.dll' (0x448): pDPH->pdmOut = bf368 'VirtualPrinterUI.dll' (0x448): DM_OUT_BUFFER 'VirtualPrinterUI.dll' (0x448): DM_IN_BUFFER I've only one question about this: Is this normal, or does there have to be a bug somewhere? If you would have to guess where this bug could be... what would you say? thanks a lot MR - Rudolf Meier Tag: Add registry entries from Netvmini driver installation Tag: 60768

    - Install moufiltr on HID class driver Hi everyone, I installed moufiltr on the PS/2 port by simply replacing *PNP0FAKE with *PNP0F13 in moufiltr.inf (thanks for the support from this site) and I could monitor and modify PS/2 mouse data packets in MouFilter_ServiceCallback routine . Now I would like to do the same for the USB mouse, i.e., I would like to modify moufiltr.inf so that I can install moufiltr on top of HID class. What parts in moufiltr.inf do I have to change? Thanks in advance. Liang Fu Tag: Add registry entries from Netvmini driver installation Tag: 60766

    - Where is the new operator defined? Hi, I am reading a copy of source code and puzzled at the expression CFilter* pFilter = new(NonPagedPool,'IFsK') CFilter; The operator new must be overwrited somewhere, but I didnot find in DDK.

    - Problem with WIA TWAIN compability driver I have written a WIA driver for a scanner. When I scan using the WIA scanner wizard, I can prescan and select the area I want to scan. The precan look very nice. If I scan to a file I have to set the height field in th BITMAPINFOHEADER negative, or else my scan will be upside down. I can live with that. But, when scanning directly to memory, eg. through the WIA TWAIN driver I have no way of doing a similar trick with the height field. So my scans are all opside down when acquired through the Microsoft supplied WIA TWAIN driver. How do I avoid this in my WIA driver? There is a header for memory transfers, which is not documented - as far as I can see. Is it possible to set the height field in that header? regards, Chr.

    - OID_TAPI_GET_ID question. The win2003 DDK tells for the OID_TAPI_GET_ID: IN DeviceClass = "ndis" // case insensitive IN ulSelect = LINECALLSELECT_CALL IN hdCall = ActiveCallHandle OUT DeviceID = ConnectionWrapperID Is this correct? I am asking this because the IsdnWan sample in the same DDK responds to the OID with: DeviceID.hDevice = (ULONG) (ULONG_PTR) (pBChannel->htCall); Which seems to the be the call handle not the ConnectionWrapperID. What is the proper way to treat the this OID request? Tag: Add registry entries from Netvmini driver installation Tag: 60749

    - Process execution interception Hi, Introduction: *********** I am writing a kernel level process execution watchdog, this watchdog intercept process creation and DLL loading and verify that the PE is allowed to run. The verification process should be done at the application layer, hence, the hook driver will intercept the call in the kernel and will ask the application layer if the PE is allowed to run. Some questions concerning the flow just described ****************************************** preventing a PE from being loaded involve hooking to the Kernel service table and injecting a ZwOpenFile detour that will verify with the application layer if a certain PE is allowed to run, the context that originally called ZwOpenFile should block until a responce is returned... [*] Concerning the ZwOpenFile calling thread, does it a Kernel thread or an application thread? does the thread is related to the kernel thread pool? In that case shouldn't blocking a thread related to the kernel thread pool cause threads depletion? What would be the best way to implement such a mechanism? I would rather make the kernel layer as thin as possible... ( does this the correct approach? ) [*] Is there an API better then ZwOpenFile to intercept for receving DLL, EXE execution/loading ? -- Nadav http://www.sophin.com Tag: Add registry entries from Netvmini driver installation Tag: 60748

In the DDK's serial sample code say // INIT - only needed during init and then can be disposed // PAGESRP0 - always paged / never locked // PAGESER - must be locked when a device is open, else paged // INIT is used for DriverEntry() specific code // PAGESRP0 is used for code that is not often called and has nothing // to do with I/O performance. An example, IRP_MJ_PNP/IRP_MN_START_DEVICE // support functions // PAGESER is used for code that needs to be locked after an open for both // performance and IRQL reasons. why PAGESRP0 will page out ,but PASESER did't ?? Does PAGESER0 is the same named as "PAGE"?? Sorry for ask a studip question^^""" Tag: Add registry entries from Netvmini driver installation Tag: 60739

    - Can software pose as a USB device? Hello. I'm new in Windows driver development and I'd like to know if a software can behave like a USB device (is emulate the right word?). The OS should be able to detect this software as a new device when I run it. I have 4 questions: 1. Are there interrupts that signal the OS that a device has been plugged? 2. How can I make data (vendor ID and device ID) from the USB-emulator available to the OS (for installation)? 3. How can I make data from the USB-emulator available to the driver? 4. How can I get data from the driver? I guess questions 2-4 have one answer. I'm working in a company that develops drivers for USB devices and I'm planning to make a tool that allows me to "switch" between "hardware devices" without physically doing it. I guess that makes me lazy. ;) Thanks, Ilian Tag: Add registry entries from Netvmini driver installation Tag: 60727

    - Do I hit the limit of ATA_PASS_THROUGH and need to write my driver Hi there, I did successfully pass several ATA commands to HDD which include IDENTIFY DEVICE, SEEK all the SMART commands. I can read one sector with READ SECTORS command successfully, but I would get error if I read more than one sector. Also all the write commands fail. Now my question is is this the limitation posed by windows atapi driver? Or there is something wrong on my code? Second question, if I have to write my own driver that allows me to pass all the ATA commands to HDD, can I just write a miniport driver? What would be a good starting point?(What I am trying to achive here is to write a ATA/SATA testing application. I really would like to avoid writing my driver if possible.) Thanks much in advance for any advice you can give! Tag: Add registry entries from Netvmini driver installation Tag: 60722

    - should I queue IRPs in a filter driver Hi, I have a filter driver layered above the disk class driver. This filter driver filters all IRPs to a particular hard drive. I have a kernal driver. When the driver needs to start some disk operation, it needs to stop any IRPs to the hard drive (holding the IRPs). Although the kernel drive only needs about 100millisecond to finish the operation, after tells the filter driver to hold any IRPs, the process could be preemptied and could take longer time for the kernel driver to finish the operation and infom the filter driver to allow incoming IRPs to pass down the disk class driver (terminate the holding). I currently tested a simple logic: whenever the kernel driver wants to do an operation, it singals an event in the filter driver and wait for any pending IRPs to finish, and whenever it has done, it resets the event in non-signal state. In the filter driver, before pass down any IRPs to the disk class driver, it waits for the event object being in non-signaled status. Testing on XP SP2 works normal with hard drive busy (continuing run chkdsk application and copy a huge file (half G)). My question is: 1) should I use the current implementation? 2) If I implement a custom queuing for the holding IRPs and when the kernel driver has finished operation, flash the custom-queued IRPs to the lower level driver. will this give much improvement on the overall system performance? 3) is there a better solution?

    - Print Monitor and MS Word Hi all, At my place of work, we decided to monitor our print servers and log details (number of pages and copies, job size, user, computer, etc.) of every job sent to the print server. We've successfully written an application that runs on each PC and constantly monitors the print spooler for new print jobs. Everything seemed okay until we noticed that Word (all the versions we tried) would only come up with one (1) copy each time a job was sent to the printer even if the number of copies exceeded one! We turned off Background Printing, but that didn't help. This isn't very good as our reporting can no longer be seen as accurate. If anyone has got ideas on monitoring the print spooler and getting the right number of print job copies from MS Word, I'd be glad to hear it. Thanks in advance. Please not that all other applications work perfectly. PBK Tag: Add registry entries from Netvmini driver installation Tag: 60714

    - printer driver settings Hi I've a little problem to understand what DrvConvertDevMode, DrvDocumentPropertySheets and DrvDevicePropertySheets have to do. So lets start with the question about DrvConvertDevMode. If you get the parameter CDM_DRIVER_DEFAULT, what does this mean? You have to return the default values. Are the default values the "manufacturer default values", so fixed values, that I can specify, or is this the values, that someone set, by configuring the printer? (so the default settings for this machine, the all users settings?). Next question, about DrvDocumentPropertySheets... what's the "internal DEVMODE structure" ? Is this the default structure for this user? Or for the calling application? Or are this just the current settings for the current process? Do I have to store them somewhere? Why? And a more general question... who is responsible for storing the systemwide default settings? Is this my driver? Is the "internal DEVMODE structure" what represents those settings? And the last question: I always thought, that this is the way it has to go: 1) the application sets the current DEVMODEW structure by calling DrvDocumentPropertySheets with DM_IN_BUFFER 2) the application lets the driver to show the propertypages by calling DrvDocumentPropertySheets with other parameters and 3) the application reads the changed DEVMODEW structure by calling DrvDocumentPropertySheets with DM_OUT_BUFFER ... but then I saw the line 855 in docprop.c (msplot sample of the ddk 3790) -> pPI->pPlotDMOut = (PPLOTDEVMODE)pDPHdr->pdmOut; ... it stores a pdmOut Pointer... and when applying changes, it directly stores the data into this buffer... but I never saw this documented... can someone explain me how this works? thanks a lot MR - Rudolf Meier Tag: Add registry entries from Netvmini driver installation Tag: 60713

    - Install USB filter driver? Hi friends! I'm a newbie to driver development and I have a rather simple question for you I guess. I want to make a USB filter that just log what device is atached to the port. I have compiled the files that came with WINDDK in the folder src\wdm\usb\filter.

    - relation of SRBs and StreamClassStreamNotification function Hi all, In my pc camera driver, there must be a SRB_READ_DATA command function, such as "VideoReadData" named, to receive images captured from digital camera into SRB data buffer. This will make a pc camera preview function on PC. At VideoReadData function, I use the ExInterlockedInsertTailList API function to queue each incoming SRB. But I find that it must be after calling StreamClassStreamNotification, a new SRB is still passed into VideoReadData function. This will make SRB queue nonsense because there is only one SRB in the queue at a time. Is there any method or setting to queue more incoming SRBs at a time? Sample code as followings, typedef struct { LIST_ENTRY ListEntry; PHW_STREAM_REQUEST_BLOCK pSrb; ULONGLONG FrameNumber; } *P_SRB_EXTENSION; typedef struct { LIST_ENTRY PendingIoList; KSPIN_LOCK PendingIoListSpin; LIST_ENTRY CompletedReadSrbList; KSPIN_LOCK DispatchSpinLock; }*P_DEVICE_EXTENSION; int VideoReadData(PHW_STREAM_REQUEST_BLOCK pSrb) { P_DEVICE_EXTENSION pDevExt = (PS_PA_DEVICE_EXTENSION) pSrb->HwDeviceExtension; P_SRB_EXTENSION pSrbEx = (PS_PA_SRB_EXTENSION)pSrb->SRBExtension; ExInterlockedInsertTailList( &(pDevExt->PendingIoList), &(pSrbEx->ListEntry), &pDevExt->PendingIoListSpin); { //actions to fill in SRB data buffer ... ... ... } StreamNotification(pSrb,StreamRequestComplete); return 0; } Regards, Allen Tag: Add registry entries from Netvmini driver installation Tag: 60701

    - Pnpdtest fails USB device with verifier low-resource simulation I'm working on a driver for a USB device based on the Cypress FX2 chip for WinXP Pro. The driver is based largely on the bulkusb example in the DDK (W2k3 version). In the course of testing, I turned on Driver Verifier not only for my (function) driver, but for the bus driver (usbhub.sys) (maybe that was my first mistake...). When running the pnpdtest.exe stress test option, with low-resource simulation turned on, I get a lot of WDM driver errors, code-coverage breakpoints, and even bug checks (0xC9, code 0x21E) in usbhub.sys (but none in my driver). Call this Case 1. If verifier is OFF for usbhub.sys, the only problem is that at some point my driver will fail, for example, in DriverEntry (cannot allocate memory to store the registry string), and pnpdtest will try in vain to connect. But no bug checks. After the test is terminated, the device can be unplugged and replugged, and things start up agin ok. Call this Case 2. If low-resource simulation is off, everything is perfect, even if usbhub.sys is verified too. Call this Case 3. Any ideas what is going on? Do I need to worry about this, or can I just turn off the extra verifier settings (like Case 3) and proceed? Thanks in advance!

    - Getting float values for mouse cursor position Hi, I use the windows mouse pointer position to control the position of an object in my own application. I use GetCursorPos to get the position of the pointer on the screen so I get integer values between 0 and the screen resolution. For a resolution of 1600x1200, I can only get 1600 possible values for x, which is not sufficient for my application. I'm wondering if there is any way to get subpixels values, i.e. Is-it possible to get true float values for the mouse pointer position? (By reducing the mouse sensitivity to the minimum, it's possible to move the mouse a few millimeters before moving by one pixel) Another solution would be to get raw data from the mouse but I'm looking for an easier way to do the trick. I also want to try different input devices so I prefer to avoid this solution. Sincerely. Géry Casiez Tag: Add registry entries from Netvmini driver installation Tag: 60671

    - minidriver for HIDClass Hi. I'm trying to make a virtual USB HID Keyboard through HIDClass. I'm working out from Walter Oneys HIDFAKE minidriver example. The thing I'm trying to make work is installing the driver, so windows register it as a HID usb keyboard. When the PNP dispatch function in the minidriver gets called, and asks for BusQueryDeviceID, i return USB\\VID_045E&PID_000B. My .inf file looks as follows (the important bits presentet only): ; Fake HID Keyboard [Version] Signature=$Windows NT$ Class=HIDClass ClassGuid={745A17A0-74D3-11D0-B6FE-00A0C90F57DA} DriverVer=03/17/2005,1.000 CatalogFile=DummyCat.cat Provider=Test ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ; Standard INF sections ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Manufacturer] %MFGNAME%=DeviceList [DestinationDirs] DefaultDestDir=10,System32\Drivers [SourceDisksFiles] hidfake.sys=1,objchk~1\i386, wdmstub.sys=1,..\..\..\Append~1\newstub\objchk~1\i386, generic.sys=1,..\..\..\generic\objchk~1\i386, generic.sys=1 [SourceDisksNames] 1=%INSTDISK%,,, [DeviceList] %DESCRIPTION%=DriverInstall,USB\VID_045E&PID_000B,HID_DEVICE_SYSTEM_KEYBOARD ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ; Windows 2000+ Sections ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [DriverInstall.ntx86] CopyFiles=DriverCopyFiles [DriverCopyFiles] hidfake.sys,,,2 generic.sys,,,2 [DriverInstall.ntx86.Services] AddService=FakeKeyboard,2,DriverService [DriverService] ServiceType=1 StartType=3 ErrorControl=1 ServiceBinary=%10%\system32\drivers\hidfake.sys ... If I try to install the driver through the hardware wizard, it tells me that the the inf file contains no information about my hardware. I know it's because of the ClassGuid, but howcome? And I know I'm doing something else wrong as well.. I would like the kbhid.sys to work as the client hid driver(windows standard hid keyboard driver), and I have this driver working as the minidriver alright. How do I accomplish to do that? (I of course use a standard keyboard ReportDescriptor, if you might wonder about that) Thanks in advance! /Kim P. Tag: Add registry entries from Netvmini driver installation Tag: 60661

    - Question about plug and play drivers Hi, When I install for example NDIS intermediate driver for debugging purposes, when I need exchange it for new build, uninstalling and installing again is not sufficient. I must uninstall it, restart machine, and install driver again. It seems that once driver is loaded it remains in memory (or some resources reamins) and unloading needs restart. I think that this behaviour is related to plug-and-play feature in W2K and up, but W2K are plug-and-play (or not absolutely ? ) ? Can be driver 100% unloaded without restarting machine ?

    - Best way to acess to the parallel port Hi! First,let me explain the situation : I have a special device that is connected to the parallel port(Using ECP or EPP) and I need to communicate with,use DMA(PC to the device) and IRQ under Windows 2000/XP. For the moment, I have successfully used some I/O drivers to access directly to the port(PortTalk,DLPortIO...),but it seems to be in a dirty way(and I am not sure that I can use DMA),as these drivers are using some undocumented functions to LOCK/UNLOCK ressources,overriding the parport.sys driver. For the moment,I am quite confused,because I don't know what is the best way to access to the parallel port. Must I write an UpperFilter driver for parport.sys that handle some custom IOCTLs? Must I write a parallel port class driver(Like parclass)? Or,can I just lock ressources when I use the application,as it is going to be the only one that access to the parallel port,when loaded? I also heard that if It's also possible to remove parport.sys and to replace it with a "home made" driver,but I am not interested by this case cause I want to keep the parallel port working normally with other applications. Thank you in advance and sorry for my bad english. Nassim. Tag: Add registry entries from Netvmini driver installation Tag: 60650

    - USB Driver problem with PTE (bugcheck 3f) We have deployed a wdm usb printer driver to a customer site. After 22-26 hours of idling, the application crashes, leaving a dump file naming the driver as the culprit and with a bugcheck id of 3f. This means that the system has run out of PTEs(page table entries) and is unable to proceed. What is puzzling is that the driver uses only allocations from the nonpaged pool. Running pooltag on a local test system (not the customer system) shows, in the nonpaged pool, no memory leaks from the driver. There is a possibility that the driver, over time, fragments the nonpaged pool, but it doesn't seem right that the system PTEs should be affected. Do, in fact, allocations from the nonpaged pool affect PTEs? If not, what other scenarios seem possible? Besides pooltag.exe and DriverVerifier, are there other programs that might be useful in diagnosing this problem? Thanks RH Tag: Add registry entries from Netvmini driver installation Tag: 60648

    - Force Win98SE to use of WRONG USB2 driver? Force Win98SE to use of WRONG USB2 driver? I bought a no-name USB2 card off EBAY. It came with win98SE drivers, but the driver locks up my system. It's a NEC chip, but there's no clue to the vendor or driver site. I found a driver from a different vendor. I can force 98SE to let me install the wrong driver and it works, Problem is that every time 98SE boots, it thinks it has a new USB card and wants to install drivers. Can I edit the registry to attach the card to the driver? How? Or maybe rewrite the .inf file to point to the driver that works and reinstall? How? Tutorial on .inf files?

    - Using DDK with previous version of VC Ok, I read the release notes for the Win2k3 DDK, and it claims that DDK examples should not be compiled on a previous version of the compiler than what the DDK was written for. However it also says that for Win98/ME drivers there are cases where the driver MUST be compiled using VC6, because a later compiler simply will fail. Does this mean that in order to compile drivers at all you must use the version of the compiler that the DDK is written in? Can I build a driver for 2K or XP using VC6 and the Win2K3 DDK?

    - Winlog screen displayed I need to know when the Winlogon screen is displayed. I want this as it is at this point that my app is going to know that all services are up and running. Winlogon Notification will only send an event after a user logs in and I need to know that we are ready to accept a user to log in. If a user is not going to login to this machine by using the Winlogon Notification I will never know that we are in a run state according to my app. The event before this is Startup and this is too early in the boot process for me to say we are ready to go. Do any of you know how I can tell that the logon screen is there? Is there a service that I can check that will start right about the time of the logon screen? I know that if the machine is set to auto logon a user then I will not get a logon screen but I can then use the Winlogon StartShell to know that we are ready to go.

It seems that the testing application from DDK uses the name PIPE04 and PIPE05 directly to open the handle to the pipe. Is there any other way to overcome this problem ? I tried using the simple way, which is open a handle to the device using GUID with CreateFile(), then using ReadFile() and WriteFile() but that fails as well, GetLastError() return 22 - ERROR_BAD_COMMAND [The device does not recognize the command.] I will have to write a loopback mode application as well. The loopback will only depend on user-mode application. Am I right ? Pls enlighten me on this part. Thanks a lot ! Tag: Add registry entries from Netvmini driver installation Tag: 60563

Hi,

I have a question regarding to add registry entries in Netvmini driver
installation.
When I install the Netvmini driver, entries are added under an zero-based
index
of[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}].
Now, I want to add custom entries under one-based index of
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkCards].

How do I do so in the .inf file? Or, is there any other way?

Thanks!
