6.4 Developing in Visual Basic and Delphi
DriverWizard can be used to diagnose your hardware and verify that it is
working properly before you start coding. You can then proceed to automatically
generate source code with the wizard in a variety of languages, including
Delphi and Visual Basic. For more information, refer to Chapter
5 and Section
6.4.3
below.
Samples for drivers written using the WinDriver API in Delphi or Visual Basic can
be found in:
- WinDriver\delphi\samples
- WinDriver\vb\samples
Use these samples as a starting point for your own driver.
6.4.3 Creating your Driver
The method of development in Visual Basic is the same as the method in C using
the automatic code generation feature of DriverWizard.
Your work process should be as follows:
-
Use DriverWizard to easily diagnose your hardware.
-
Verify that it is working properly.
-
Generate your driver code.
-
Integrate the driver into your application.
-
You may find it useful to use the WinDriver samples to get to know the WinDriver
API and as your skeletal driver code.
