HID_DESCRIPTOR structure (hidport.h)

  • Article

The HID_DESCRIPTOR structure represents a HID descriptor for a HIDClass device.

Syntax

typedef struct _HID_DESCRIPTOR {
      UCHAR                     bLength;
      UCHAR                     bDescriptorType;
      USHORT                    bcdHID;
      UCHAR                     bCountry;
      UCHAR                     bNumDescriptors;
  struct {
        UCHAR  bReportType;
        USHORT wReportLength;
  } _HID_DESCRIPTOR_DESC_LIST;
      _HID_DESCRIPTOR_DESC_LIST DescriptorList[1];
} HID_DESCRIPTOR, *PHID_DESCRIPTOR;

Remarks

The HID class driver uses an IOCTL_HID_GET_DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR request to obtain a device's HID descriptor from a HID minidriver.

For information about HID descriptors, see the Universal Serial Bus (USB) standard Device Class Definition for Human Interface Devices (HID) located at the USB Implementers Forum website.
