Hello All,

I want to write a program which can detect USB deice insertion and removal.
I know that I have to use some methods...

RegisterDeviceNotification()

and DeviceChange message.

But i am not able to combine both.

So could anybody help me to write a simple program in C for the same.

Thanks

Could be an interesting useful question, but... " I am not able to..." is not informative.

Please see some CodeProject articles on the topic:

Hardware Change Detection[^],
Simple URB (USB Request Block) Monitor[^].

Try to look more thoroughly:
