Programming the Microsoft Windows Driver Model

Parameters for the INF File

The last page in the wizard (shown in Figure B-10) lets you specify information for the INF file that becomes part of your driver project.

The fields in this page are as follows:

• Manufacturer Name

  Name of the hardware manufacturer.

• Device Class

  The standard device class to which your device belongs. Sample is my own class for the driver samples in this book; you shouldn t use this class for a production device.

• Hardware ID

  The hardware identifier for this device. I made up *WCO0B01 for this example. You should specify the identifier that will match one of the identifiers that the relevant bus driver will create. Refer to the section titled Device Identifiers in Chapter 15 for more information.

• Friendly Name For Device

  If you want to have a FriendlyName value inserted into the device s hardware key, specify that name here.

• Auto-Launch Command

  If you want the AutoLaunch service to automatically start an application when your device starts, specify the command line here. For example, when I built the AutoLaunch sample for Chapter 15, I specified %windir%\altest.exe %s %s in this field.

• Device Description

  Insert the description of your device here.
