What is the Windows Input Device for my keyboard?

[andre666]

I want to read from my Keyboard-Input-Device (Win32 Device Namespaces, \\.\). How can I decide which device is responsible for my keyboard. I can browse the available devices with the tool WinObj but I can not decide which device is the correct one.

I found an example where the device for input can be read/open with the function C++ function CreateFile("\\\\.\\interception00", GENERIC_READ, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, NULL).

Here is a link to the example: http://www.oblita.com/interception.html

On my PC there is no interception-device aviable. I looked with WinObj on an other PC and there were 20 interception-devices aviable. Why are these interception-devices not aviable on my PC ?

No, that question on stackoverflow is from me
It is only an explanation why I can't read from the interception00-Device (because it is not aviable) and a solution/tool to see the input-devices under windows.
But I need to read the input and if the interception-Device is not there I hope there is another device from which I can read. But I don't know which.

Well. never did it myself... but maybe some of the Raw Input functions (like GetRawInputDeviceList function) will help you to get the list of the devices?
