Costumize USB Device Attached Event

[bert0r]

Hi

when I attach an USB-Device to the PC than the System.DeviceAttached Event is show in the log:

System.DeviceAttached [u'\\\\?\\USB#Vid_03eb&Pid_6124#5&33a95ce&0&8#{a5dcbf10-6530-11d2-901f-00c04fb951ed}']

is there a way to react on a that special USB device (depending on IDs) ? I mean is there a opportunity to add the device VID und PID to the event System.DeviceAttached as it is shown in the log?

thank you


Im using EventGhost 0.3.7.r1462 on Windows XP SP3

I'm not sure if I understand correctly your question. Maybe because the solution is trivial:

Use Python Command action.

thank you so far...

im new to EventGhost and also to Phyton

i actually want to run an application when an USB device is plugged in... so my question is if there is a way to run an application when one special USB Device is connected... e.g. if i plug in a mouse, eventghost wont launch the application, but if i plug in a device with e.g. vendor id xyxy & product id yxyx eventghost will launch the application...

At the moment the application starts but it does it for any USB device...

Did you actually try the example that Pako posted? It should allow you to do exactly what you are asking for.

Maybe something like this would be better to pick out only vid and pid value from the string though. (so you dont have to plug the device into the same usb port every time).

Code: Select all

eg.TriggerEvent(eg.event.payload[0][8:25], prefix = eg.event.suffix)

hey there,

i just tried it and hmm actually its very easy ... but im far away from understanding the commands...

you did a great job with eventghost...thank you all very much!

hey its me again

it now works that eventghost triggers only the specific usb device... but if i plug it into a different USB-Slot it doesnt work anymore..

atm the event looks like this:

DeviceAttached.\\?\USB#Vid_03eb&Pid_6124#5&33a95ce&0&8#{a5dcbf10-6530-11d2-901f-00c04fb951ed}

it seems that the numbers between #5&33a95ce&0&8# correspond to the usb port... is it possible to insert a wildcard or something like that ?

thanks again

This problem has already resolved the improvements proposed by jinxdone:

Code: Select all

eg.TriggerEvent(eg.event.payload[0][8:25], prefix = eg.event.suffix)
