Note to developers: It's very important to use the HIDIsValidDevice\ - and HIDIsValidElement API's to verify that cached device or element pointers are still valid before de-referencing them.\ - This validation code has been added to all HID Utilities AIP's that take a device or element pointer as a parameter.\ - Note also that this required that queueRunLoopSource and notification port fields be added to the device record. (see <HID_Utilities.h>)\ -\ -Version 3.3 Added output transaction support for UPS & FFB devices (see <HID_Transaction_Utilities.c> & <HID_Transaction_Utilities.h>).\ -\ -Version 3.2 Since 10.2 changed the cookie numbers (by adding a usage == -1element for arrays) a cookie agnostic method of getting\ - device and element names was needed. Plus the nested (device & element) switch statements hardcoding the strings.\ - So all the device, element & cookie strings have been moved out of the source file(s) and put into XML data files instead.\ - NOTE: all local (static) routines now begin with "hid_" instead of "HID".\ - All references to "Kernel/IOKit/hidsystem/" now (correctly) point to "IOKit/hid/" instead.\ -\ -Version 3.1: Added the basics of a element naming scheme. Right now it just supports one device (macally iShock) but as I get more \ - device info I can add other devices (feel free to add to the name lookup file and send me the results). Added bad device \ - and element chencking in config/save. Fixed one case of swapped usage page and usage variables. Fixed a few leaks \ - noted by a developer. Add a NULL check to top level element handler to prevent NULL deference also noted by developer. \ - Checked build with gcc3. Rebuilt bundle and static lib.\ -\ -Version 3.0: Major Change: Added CFM support.\ - Project now can be built in three different ways with the interface being straight C with Mac OS X type reliance, thus completely\ - suitable for CFM or MachO binary formats and Carbon, Cocoa, or command line interfaces.\ -\ - - Static Library: For use with Mac OS X MachO projects. The build product (in the build directory) can be static linked\ - into any exisiting Mac OS X MachO project. The project should include HID_Utilities_External.h only for declarations.\ -\ - - Source: This is just including the HID Utilities source files in the target project. Works as previous, but now all the \ - declarations needed are in the HID_Utilities_External.h header file.\ -\ - - Dynamic Library: Should only be used by CFM applications. There are some notes which MUST be followed. See the HID Explorer\ - or the HID Config Save samples for CW7 projects which show the actual use of the library. The dylib is housed in a bundle\ - which the CFM app finds at runtime and calls into. This bundle is included and the dylib project will automatically place\ - the actual dylib in the bundle (contents/MacOS/). NOTE: The path to this is an absolute path for the build product of the \ - project, you MUST modify this if you rebuild the dylib (which never be required). To do this select the prject name in the\ - Files tab and Get Info. Point the build product to the HID.bundle/contents/MacOS/ directory in the HID Utilities directory.\ - Then point the intermediates to the intermediates directory already in the build directory. This is required since the build\ - product path is absolute and can't be project relative (yes, a bug has been filed). Again, this is only if you wnat to rebuild\ - the dylib used for CFM applications. Also note, you must copy the HID.bundle into your application directory (if you are using\ - the method in the sample to find the bundle) for your CFM application to use it.\ - \ - Other Notes:\ - The interface is now completely Mac OS X type free. This means minor mods to your projects. See the element and device structures\ - for guidence on the types. For example cookies now should be void *'s. Fixed a couple bugs in allocating queues. CLean up error\ - checking to only dump DebugStrs if the source is used (vice the static or dynamic libraries).\ -\ -Version 2.0: Update. Fixed some 10.1 issues, notably spelling errors in constants and include differences. Fixed 10.0.x errors, notably \ - type errors in retrieving element info, negative value handling (see GetElementValue), queuing error, and other minor changes.\ - Major change in element list handling... Elements are now stored in a binary tree to mimic the tree sturcture of the \ - device. This allows hierarchial diplay and parsing (See HID Explorer sample). Additionally, some of the routine declarations \ - have chnaged to work with this tree structure, one can still get same list functionality by using GetNextDeviceElement routine \ - with kHIDElementTypeIO constant. Collections are now stored in tree, so users of these functions must understand if they are \ - looking at a valid IO element or a collection. Lastly, new parsing strings and two new headers are included to aid in decoding \ - PID and power device elements.\ -\ -Version 1.0: Initial release featuring functions to get HID device list, get devices and elements, poll for values, setup queues and get events, \ - handle configuration set up and saving/restoring of configurations.\ -\ -----\ -\ -This group of utilities is stand alone code to help developers work more easily with the HID Manager for Mac OS X with both MachO and CFM support. \ -It provides a high level abstract of the current HID interface that sacrifices slight flexibility in favor single function set up, device and element \ -retrieval, current value and event query, and configuration. This sample is the source code for the Utilities and does not provide a sample of the \ -utilization. There are other samples which provide complete working examples of a HID device explorer and a simple game implementation. More samples \ -will be forth coming shortly.\ -\ -This set of utilities is constantly evolving to both address any bugs and provide better support for developer requested features.\ -Any suggestions and/or bugs can be directed to the Apple bug reporter at:\ -<http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/index.html>\ -\ -// ==================================\ -\ -// Device and Element Interfaces\ -\ -enum HIDElementTypeMask\ -\{\ -
