The following list shows the migration issues related to migrating HID drivers:

  • USB HID joysticks and Microsoft® DirectInput® application programming interface are no longer supported

  • USB HID joysticks and DirectInput for USB HID are no longer supported as of Windows CE .NET 4.2

  • Projects that include the USB HID component, and that were created with Windows CE versions earlier than Windows CE .NET 4.2, have the SYSGEN_USB_HID variable set.

    As of Windows CE .NET 4.2, this variable no longer includes keyboard and mouse functionality. You can add this by setting SYSGEN_USB_HID_CLIENTS=1, SYSGEN_USB_HID_KEYBOARD=1, or SYSGEN_USB_HID_MOUSE=1.
