Usage

To get started with this library take a look at HID Demo code. Basically there are just three things you need to do to get it working:

  1. Instantiate a SharpLib.Hid.Handler specifying which kind of raw input you want to listen to.
  2. Register with your HID handler OnHidEvent event.
  3. Feed your HID handler the Windows Raw Input from WM_INPUT messages.

Taking a look at older and simpler version of the HID Demo code can give you a better idea of what a minimal implementaiton looks like.
