As many of you know, for months now I have been researching USB and how it works, what it takes to communicate, and if communicating with the correct device.
On top of trying to make it "Simple" for someone else to follow. (good luck there
)
Anyways, I am hoping someone can clear my head and point out what I am doing wrong? (Even if its just a generic DeviceIoControl on a plain text file? (please no more examples about scuzzy drives, hard drives etc..) As I am trying to get my head wrapped around the "Kindergarten" phase of generic concepts.)
Where I am stuck is getting a Descriptor, so I can learn about the device I am looking at. (Yes I know this is easily done on Device attach/Detach etc...but I am looking at if my program runs after the device is attached, and determine if it is the one that I need to talk to)
Anyways, Sample Code below, and real code I hope to post soon.
(Real code currently returns either invalid handle, incorrect parameter, or does not support) but if I can get just 1 known device to work correctly then I am sure I can figure out why or why not the others do or don't
Any help you can give will be GREATLY appreciated

with error codes like that. What parameter? is it a part of SetupPacket? Index? Message Requested? a type pointed at another type? etc.....)
but in some areas, you seem to be "Leap Years ahead of me"
