1.5 Device Driver Programming
This section will provide a roadmap to demonstrate how to build an appli-
cation from scratch using the Device Drivers with your favorite
development tools such as Visual C++, Visual Basic. The step-by-step
instructions on how to build your own applications using each
development tool will be given in the Device Drivers Manual. Moreover,
a rich set of example source code is also given for your reference.
1.5.1 Programming Tools
Programmers can develop application programs with the following devel-
opment tools:
• Visual C++
• Visual Basic
For instructions on how to begin programming in each development tool,
a Tutorial Chapter in the Device Drivers Manual is included for your
reference. Please refer to the corresponding sections in this chapter on the
Device Drivers Manual to begin your programming efforts. You can also
look at the example source code provided for each programming tool,
since they can get you very well oriented.
The Device Drivers Manual can be found on the companion CD-ROM.
Alternatively, if you have already installed the Device Drivers on your
system, The Device Drivers Manual can be readily accessed through the
Start button:
