Creating a fake input device driver

Posted: 02-21-2007, 04:28 PM

Hi to all

Does anyone know how I can create a fake device driver, so that I can
generate myself input data through an application and make the OS
believe that they come from an existing physical input device.

Actually, I don't really plan to generate the input data, but rather
receive them through a remote machine and feed them into the local
machine, like being generated in the latter.

To be more specific, I want to make a Game (for which I don't have any
info regarding its code) to see a mouse or a keyboard input that comes
from another machine. To achieve this, there are two possibiities.
Either I will fool the DirectInput (which the game uses) or I will fool
the game itself. But for both of them I don't see any other way than
building a driver for a non existing input device through which I can
pass my inputs. Am I right, or do I miss something?

Any information is acceptable (guidelines, sample code, links etc.)

Thanx in advance
