PureBasic Forums - English

Is there a way to access a USB device from PB? Is there a library?

I tried to search the forum for "USB" but the search function will not accept words of less than 4 characters!

Hi
What kind of USB device ?
HDD , BT , Wireless Mouse ...etc
And what do you want to do with it

you will need a library unless the usb appears as a serial port or drive
see https://github.com/libusb/hidapi
I have hidapi build for windows x86/x64 if you need to access a hid device.

Search: USB site:https://www.purebasic.fr/english/

Much like juergenkulow's suggestion..

I've bookmarked my web browser to: https://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en-DE&fg=1
(Google's advanced search page).. it allows 3 character searches.

In this case:
all these words:USB
desired site search is: www.purebasic.fr

Thank you all for your replies!!!

Idle: Please send me the Win64 library, or tell me how to get it. Thanks.

I downloaded the library that User_Russian posted but it asks for another lib called MISC, which I cannot find.

Thank you
Robert

check you Messages for include and dll

Idle: Thank you for the library. I cannot find documentation on how to use it, routine names, parameters, etc. Where can I find it?

Thanks,
Robert

Idle,

Thanks again.

If it is a USB drive, then it is easier to use WM_DEVICECHANGE

AZJIO,
Thank you.
