Below is an example of how AddTrigger should be used:. Note that the HardwareId specified in DataItem is optional and generally only needed when using a generic class interface to scope the trigger to a more specific device. From a runtime perspective, the first step for your service should be to register for device interface notifications. Prescriptive guidance on how to accomplish this can be found on this page: Registering for Notification of Device Interface Arrival and Device Removal.

When a service has started, you cannot rely on the fact that you will receive device interface notifications as the arrival notification may have already passed. Instead, you must get a list of device interfaces to check if there are already interfaces present.

Once you have registered for notifications, you can find your desired device interface in these two steps:. Note, there is a chance that the interface arrives between registering for notifications and finding the desired device interface. In that case, the interface will be listed in both the notification callback and the list of interfaces. Once you have found the desired device interface, open a handle to the interface via CreateFile. Details of mofcomp errors are reported in the Mofcomp.
