How to make a usb device load my function driver?

Question

I have written a usb function driver. if I want any usb device that plugged in my computer load this driver rather than its real driver, what should I do? I only know if I change vid/pid when bus driver create pdo, I can make it. But I don't know if there is a easy way to do it. How to change the bus's behaviour? Can a filter driver make it? The platform is Windows.

Your best bet is to implement a HID (Human Interface Device) driver. By following the HID guidelines, most functionality you need is already supported, without having to write a custom device driver.

Here are some links to get you started:

For redirection over a network, have a look at the FreeRDP project. It's open-source, under the Apache license, so you can pretty much do whatever you want with the code.
