How to Write a Mouse Driver for Windows XP
If you want to write a custom mouse driver for Windows XP, you need to use the Kernel-Mode Driver Framework (KMDF) and follow the guidelines for input device drivers. In this article, we will show you how to create a basic mouse driver that can handle mouse input events and report them to the system.
Before you start, you need to have the following tools and resources:
A computer running Windows XP with Service Pack 3 or later.
A mouse device that you want to write a driver for.
The Windows Driver Kit (WDK) for Windows XP, which includes the KMDF library and the Visual Studio integration.
The input driver samples from the WDK, which provide a starting point for writing a mouse driver[^3^].
A zip file utility, such as WinZip or 7-Zip, to compress your driver files.
Here are the steps to write a mouse driver for Windows XP:
Create a new KMDF driver project in Visual Studio, using the KMDF Driver template. Name your project MouseDriver and specify the target platform as Windows XP.
Add a new source file to your project, named Mouse.c. This file will contain the main logic of your mouse driver.
Include the following header files in Mouse.c:
Define a device extension structure that will store the device-specific data for your mouse driver. For example:
typedef struct _DEVICE_EXTENSION {
WDFDEVICE Device; // WDF device object
WDFQUEUE Queue; // WDF queue object
HID_DEVICE_ATTRIBUTES HidAttributes; // HID device attributes
HID_DESCRIPTOR HidDescriptor; // HID device descriptor
PHIDP_PREPARSED_DATA Ppd; // HID preparsed data
HIDP_CAPS Caps; // HID device capabilities
} DEVICE_EXTENSION, *PDEVICE_EXTENSION;
Define a context cleanup callback function that will free the resources allocated by your mouse driver. For example:
VOID
MouseContextCleanup(
_In_ WDFOBJECT Object
)
{
PDEVICE_EXTENSION devExt;
devExt = DeviceGetExtension(Object);
if (devExt->Ppd) {
HidP_FreePreparsedData(devExt->Ppd);
}
}
Define a device initialization callback function that will initialize your mouse device. This function will be called by the KMDF framework when your driver is loaded. In this function, you need to do the following tasks:
Set the device context size and cleanup callback.
Set the device type as FILE_DEVICE_MOUSE.
Set the device characteristics as FILE_DEVICE_SECURE_OPEN.
Create a WDF device object and associate it with your device extension.
Create a WDF queue object and associate it with your device object.
Get the HID device attributes and descriptor from your mouse device.
Get the HID preparsed data and capabilities from your mouse device.
For example:
EVT_WDF_DRIVER_DEVICE_ADD MouseEvtDeviceAdd;
NTSTATUS
MouseEvtDeviceAdd(
_In_ WDFDRIVER Driver,
_Inout_ PWDFDEVICE_INIT DeviceInit
)
{
NTSTATUS status;
WDF_OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES attributes;
PDEVICE_EXTENSION devExt;
WDFDEVICE device;
WDF_IO_QUEUE_CONFIG queueConfig;
UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER(Driver);
// Set the device context size and cleanup callback
WDF_OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES_INIT_CONTEXT_TYPE(&attributes, DEVICE_EXTENSION);
attributes.EvtCleanupCallback = MouseContextCleanup;
// Set the device type as FILE_DEVICE_MOUSE
WdfDeviceInitSetDeviceType(DeviceInit, FILE_DEVICE_MOUSE);
// Set the device characteristics as FILE_DEVICE_SECURE_OPEN
WdfDeviceInitSetCharacteristics(DeviceInit, FILE_DEVICE_SECURE_OPEN, FALSE);
// Create a WDF device object and associate it with your device extension ec8f644aee
