Win 8 Metro App compatible libOVR
Currently, the "libOVR" cannot be used in a Win8 Metro App since it fails the "Windows App Cert Kit"-Test due to calls to InitializeCriticalSection and LoadLibrary. So we need to use InitializeCrit...
K.. i tried everything to make the lib compatible to Windows 8 apps. Most could be easily done but i definately fail when trying to use the HIDClass (HidD_Xxx and HidP_Xxx routines) in the lib. (Hidsdi.h and Hid.lib can only be used in Desktop Family Partition) LoadLibraryW, as used in the code, also Fails the app cert kit.
So the Problem is that Windows apps are not sheduled to read HID-Raw-Data.
This is what Microsoft says:
"Windows 8 requires a driver in order to get access to raw HID data. "
Will we have a Windows 8 specific Driver in future ? Any other clues ?
