<h3>SUMMARY</h3><P><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE=2><P>
This keyboard class driver is compliant with Plug and Play on Windows&#174; 2000 and beyond. The behavior of the various routines is documented in the source code files. The driver works on both 32 and 64 bit platforms. <P>
In addition to Plug and Play, the driver supports legacy Windows NT&#174; 4.0-style input devices, Power Management, and all other Windows 2000 drivers.<P>
<h3>BUILDING THE SAMPLE</h3><P><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE=2><P>
The files necessary to build the sample include Kbdclass.c, Kbdlass.h, Kbdlass.rc, Kbdlog.rc, the makefile, and the sources. Once built, the sample produces a keyboard class driver (Kbdclass.sys). One binary is produced. Both checked and free build are available and functional. KEYBOARD.INF (the inf required to load this driver) is a system INF.<P>
This sample is the complete source code for the shipping keyboard class driver, which runs always on Windows XP systems. It is therefore always installed. To run a customized driver, rather than the one shipped by the build, you will need to replace it in the %Windir%\System32\Drivers directory. Please note that kbdclass.sys is a system driver and is protected by Windows File Protection.<P>
