From: Don Burn on 6 May 2008 06:19 This has been answered many times the answer is NO. If you need a function that does not have a kernel mode equivalent, you either need to write your own or use a helper application to perform that work for the driver. -- Don Burn (MVP, Windows DDK) Windows 2k/XP/2k3 Filesystem and Driver Consulting Website: http://www.windrvr.com Blog: http://msmvps.com/blogs/WinDrvr Remove StopSpam to reply "Kid" <Kid(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:2BFDA94B-3827-4BE9-9D58-811401CE401B(a)microsoft.com... > Hi > > Can kernel mode driver call Win32 API function like MessageBox and winsock > ? > > If I want to write a virtual driver use some Win32 API and library , is it > possible? > > Thank you .
From: Maxim S. Shatskih on 6 May 2008 14:19 MessageBox - no, WinSock - no, only TDI and - in Vista+ - WinSock Kernel, which has nothing common with WinSock except the general concepts. -- Maxim Shatskih, Windows DDK MVP StorageCraft Corporation maxim(a)storagecraft.com http://www.storagecraft.com "Kid" <Kid(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:2BFDA94B-3827-4BE9-9D58-811401CE401B(a)microsoft.com... > Hi > > Can kernel mode driver call Win32 API function like MessageBox and winsock ? > > If I want to write a virtual driver use some Win32 API and library , is it > possible? > > Thank you .

From: Don Burn on 6 May 2008 18:36 Yes, look at ZwCreateFile, ZwWriteFile, ZwReadFile and ZwClose. They are very similar to the Win32 functions. Other ZwXXX calls may also be of interest. -- Don Burn (MVP, Windows DDK) Windows 2k/XP/2k3 Filesystem and Driver Consulting Website: http://www.windrvr.com Blog: http://msmvps.com/blogs/WinDrvr Remove StopSpam to reply "Kid" <Kid(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:3950C5BB-2DE7-40B0-BD40-EF3EB880181F(a)microsoft.com... > hi Don > > Can we write some text or database from kernel mode, is there any API ? > > Thanks much > > > "Don Burn" wrote: > >> This has been answered many times the answer is NO.
