HID Manager Basics

Sample code to accompany HID Documantation

Version 1.2

10-23-2002

Version 1.2: Verified functionality on Mac OS X 10.2 & new HID Utilities

Version 1.1: Verified functionality on Mac OS X 10.1.

Version 1.0: Initial version shows all the functionality in HID documantation and corrects a few errors in documentation code.

Also functions are slightly renamed and organization cleaned up for readability and straightforwardness. Documentation

can be found on the web in the Mac OS X kernel documentation section under Accessing Hardware.

----

HID Manager Basics shows the very basic use of the HID Manager for Mac OS X. This includes device discovery, using queues and polling elements.

This code is NOT designed to be production quality and serves to just support the HID documentation, with minor changes to improve interaction.

Other sample code, such as the HID Utilities Source, HID Config Save and HID Explorer, are MUCH better examples of using the HID Manager in a production

application environment. It is strong recommended developers look at those samples when starting to use the HID manager.

The code should be built and run from Project builder and the output will be in the Run pane. The application will make little sense if the stdout window is

not visible when the application is run so it is suggested it be run from Project Builder.

----

HID Manager Basics is provided as sample code and will be updated if possible for bug fixes but will not have it's functionality changed unless the HID Manager

documentation changes.
