Environment: VB6 under W98
I have a USB hardware device I wish to program directly. The original
software installed a low level driver and the hardware is both
registered and operational.
Now then, I'd like to have access to this device directly. In other
words, I'd like to enumerate all devices on the USB bus, pick the one
I want, and then communicate with it (send commands, get data, etc).
So, how does one go about talking to the USB? VB6/W98 combo doesn't
seem to have any dedicated USB routines.
What I need - I guess - is the USB equivalent of the MSComm control.
Is there such a thing as a "USB Control"? What's the canonical way of
talking to USB from VB?
I did google around a bit but couldn't find anything applicable. Most
sites and pages I came across seem to focus on actually writing a low
level USB driver.
Thanks!
Don.
