It is expensive and i don't want to make mistake.I need your advices.
1-)Is this book enough for driver development?And if i finish it completly do i ready for driver development for all windows version?Especially for windows vista.I want to learn wheter everything will change with windows vista???If it will change what must i do?

2-)Is this books context ready at microsoft web site?I mean maybe microsoft put all documentation at its web site so idon't need to buy it.I said i don't want to make mistake.

I am very new to deriver development and i see that it is another world in programming.

Please give me some advices about starting driver development.What is the best roadmap to learn ddk(softwares, books about downloading and buying)

I am looking for your answers..
Thanks

Your second link recommends "So, you need to learn something about Windows operating sytem architecture. This means, at the very least, you need to read Inside Windows whatever-is-the-most-recent-version."

Actually the book's title was changed to Windows Internals, Fourth Edition[^] for the most recent edition. I'd like all my drivers to be written by people who have read and understood this book.

Actually I think it's quite useful for those of us who have never ventured into kernel mode.

Hello everyone,

Are there any samples to traverse a directory and list all the file names? Written in C.

thanks in advance,
George

You can use these API's:
FindFirstFile()
FindNextFile()

Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

Thank you _AnShUmAn_!

Are they C/C++ standard or Microsoft specific things? I want to use C/C++ standard API in my application.

See

<br />
	WIN32_FIND_DATA find;<br />
	HANDLE handle=FindFirstFile("*.*",&find);<br />
	while(FindNextFile(handle,&find)!=0)<br />
m_List2.AddString(find.cFileName);//m_List2 is CListBox<br />
	FindClose(handle);<br />

Hi WhiteSky,

I find that there are some Microsoft specific things, like WIN32_FIND_DATA. Are there any API/structures which are standard C/C++?

George

Hi Ovidiu,

The sample is very useful. Are there any non-Microsoft specific API/data structure samples? (I mean using pure C/C++ standard API/data structure.)

George

No file systems are platform specific.

Confused. All file system should be platform specific, on Window there are special file format, and on Linux, there are others.

George

Yup, that's why there isn’t a single ANSI C++ method for accessing the files on the file system. Not to mention, *Nix and Windows treat directory structures differently. Simply '\' is the directory delimiter for Windows & '/" is the delimiter on *Nix (this is a high level difference, but everything adds up).

If you want something that isn’t platform specific (as your posts indicated) your stuck with Java (I wonder how far along MONO is) or writing two separate classes and figure out which platform your on at compile time.

Is there any way or function to check whether the focus is in our application or some other application.

Thanks in advance.

You can override OnSetFocus of CWnd.
the handler will be invoked on gaining focus.
