Windows DDK Suite 3.0

undergnd

hi,, all...
i'm new here...

i'm trying to make an application such as magictune of portrait
displays...
i plant a micro controller in the display.. that is configured i2c
slave device..
connect pin 12, 15 of vga cable to the mcu..
i'm trying to send some simple data to the mcu...
i'm using vc++ 6.0

i found that i need video.h from msdn..
so,, i got windows ddk suite 3.0 and installed it..
the header file, video.h is in

C:\WINDDK\3790\inc\ddk\wxp

and in vc++ 6.0,,
tools -> options..., directories tab..
i put above directory in the list of "include files" section..

then i put

// some header files
#include <video.h>
// some header files

and tried to compile..
then i got 102 errors that all of them came from video.h and videoagp.h
that are newly included headers..
did i do something wrong to configure building environment?
is there some special thing to do in order to compile ddk headers?
thank you very much...

best regards,
/u

You should be building with the DDK's build environment. If you want to
work out of visual studio, use DDKBUILD from http://www.hollistech.com/.
You cannot use Visual Studio 6.0's compiler for building this stuff.

hi,,
thank you for the answer..
maybe,, your suggestion doesn't work since i'm using vc++ 6.0??
anyway,,
is there anyway that i can use ddc/ci without using video.h?
thank you very much...

regards,

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO,
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The current DDK includes a compiler and all the tools, using anything other
than that compiler is a recipe for disaster. You cannot use VC++ 6.0 since
there are constructs in the includes that will fail with the 6.0 compiler!!!

You can use VC as an editor using the DDKBUILD, but do not even think of
using it as a compiler for a driver (except maybe NT 4.0)

dear mr. don burn..

thank you very much for your answer..
i'll try to figure out..
since i don't have much experience with windows stuff..
i really confused...

i just found that your article from msdn page..
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver...Dev_Intro.mspx
you are a famous person..
it is a great honor to me to meet you here..
thank you again...

best regards,

Hi,
Here is the quick link to driver build tutorial for windows , hope
it would help;-)

hi,,
thank you for the tutorial...
i'm still getting confused...

i have an application that reside in the system tray and monitors
hotkey input..
if it receives a certain hot key input..
then it need to send a certain command to the display over i2c in vga
cable..
so the application is an executable file...
but it seems that the ddk generates .sys file...
can i just add i2c communication feature to the existing application
(which was created by mfc application wizard in vc++ 6.0) using ddk?
thank you very much...

best regards,

hi,,

a question about the space in the path..
i tried to compile my application using ddk build command,,
i got bunch of errors that some header files are missing..
error message says that it is looking for some .h files that are in
vc++ 6.0's include folder..
i have installed vc++ prior to installation of ddk..
so vc++ has the path of c:\program files\microsoft visual
studio\vc98\include
i've noticed that i should not use space in the path..
then,, i can i put the path of c:\program files\microsoft visual
studio\vc98\include
in SOURCES file?
thank you very much...

/u

Doh! space in Ms studio does not matter , you should not having spaces
in your dricer source ( yourDriver.c , yourDriver.h). Guess you havn't
read complete tutorial? you can download project's shareware document
from same link for more understanding on this topic.

>can i just add i2c communication feature to the existing application (which was created by mfc application wizard in vc++ 6.0) using ddk?

I don't think you will be so lucky. You can't even use c runtime
environment(CRT) in your driver code because its not available in
kernel. Obviously no place for MFC;-)


>i have an application that reside in the system tray and monitors hotkey input..
if it receives a certain hot key input.. then it need to send a
certain command to the display over i2c in vga cable..

To me windows standard service should do this for you , you can look at
the following link for developing services.
http://www.devx.com/cplus/Article/9857/0/page/1

Or a upper level(If you don't want any preprocessing) filter driver can
be generic soltuion for you, i can't point the exact resource in DDK
for this. I hope some one here will provide you this pointer as there
ARE filter driver samples in DDK.

hi,,

thank you for the answer...
so.. what you mean is..
i just leave the system tray application (the one that has been build
already) as is,,
i mean just add some more function to communicate with the driver in
somehow..
and develop a driver for the device in c??
that can interact with the application?
