Qt communicating with USB device

[jimmydean101]

Hello again,

One of the first projects I'm wanting to use Qt for is to communicate with a USB enabled device. Does Qt have native USB support? If not, what are your recommendations. This would initially be for the Windows platform.

There is no native support for USB in Qt. If you are on Windows. Use the Windows API for USB.

Sounds good. I'll look in that direction. Thanks

Is there anyone that could supply me some examples of Qt using the Windows API for USB? I don't currently understand (still and noob) what classes are used to connect Qt with outside APIs.

Thanks

You don't need a class to talk to outside APIs, just include the appropriate header files as per MSDN.

You'll probably need the Windows DDK too.

[jimmydean101]

Understood. Thanks

FYI:

How to Use WinUSB to Communicate with a USB Device (http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/connect/usb/winusb_howto.mspx) .

Unfortunately WinUSB doesn't support isochronous transefer, so I'm doubting I'll be able to stream video off a remote webcam using this, but it'll do for starters. The link has a downloadable whitepaper.
