The following information is included for each device interface class:

  • Identifier, GUID value, and WDK header file that defines the class.
  • Whether the class is reserved for internal use only.
  • Windows versions that support the class.
  • Whether the class or class identifier is obsolete.
  • Link to information in the WDK about devices that register instances of the device interface class.
  • Link to a WDK sample, if one exists, that registers an instance of the device interface class for a device.

For information about how to register an instance of a device interface class in an INF file, see ​​INF AddInterface Directive​​ .

For information about how to use SetupAPI to access device interfaces, see the list of device interface functions that is provided in ​​Using Device Installation Functions​​ .
