Hello,

Background:
I need to implement a program that can get KB and mouse events from several HIDs and be able to know from which HID it came from.

Tried solutions:
1. Winhooks - the problem is, I do not know which HID it came from
2. RawInputData - can get the HID events and map it correctly to the device the problem is, I need to block the input from being displayed by the OS

So I need to be able to get the HID inputs before the driver and not by getting it using WM_INPUT message which is already sent by the OS.

So does anyone know how I can do that?
Thank you very much!
