Syberaptor,


The "Special Buttons" on your laptop are controlled by a proprietary filter drivers, they have nothing to do with the keyboard.

On an HP Laptop for instance, one of the more common driver names they use is "eawdmfd.sys", but this is by no means standard, compaq (now merged with HP) uses one called "eaps2kbd.sys". Some of them have more than just the driver they also have dependancies to dynamic link libraries like "fltrcoi.dll" for instance.

I haven't seen any "Generic" code for working with these drivers recently, but I can tell you, that it will be quite an adventure for you if you decide to dive into filter drivers and the windows ddk.

If your really interested, the first thing you should probably do is download the windows ddk,and take a look, It is part of the Kernel-Mode Driver framework found here:

http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/WDF/KMDF_pkgdwn.mspx?


It has some interesting sample codes on filter drivers.

Be prepared to start programming in more than one language, and learn all you can about p/invoke in the framework if you decide to interface your work in the .net framework, and have the desire to do this type of work.



That should get you started....

Hope it helps...
