Hi, i am trying to write a user mode installable multimedia driver ( basically i want to implement the wodMessage ).please visit http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms713504(VS.85).aspx i can see my device in the list, however, when someone tries to open the device, i receive a callback argument with value 0, which is not valid so no one is able to open the device( AFAIK the device will open only when the callback is sent, but since it's a value of zero, it's of no use ) can someone help me out here. i am also trying to search a sample but in vain. Can someone please point me out to the sample or what am i doing wrong or how should i do it. waiting for your help -- -- Thanks & Regards ================= Vipin.
