windows - Detecting USB insertion/Removal in C++ non-GUI application

Question

I want to detect insertion/removal of a specific (Custom) USB device through a C++ application which runs in background and has no GUI.

I have seen lot of questions and their solutions RegisterDeviceNotification also sample code on MSDN

But these all application has Some Window/Form/GUI. My Application doesn't have any. How can I use this in my application?

My last option would be to create an invisible window... But is there any other way out??

Answer 1

Create a message-only window. Despite the name, it's really only a message queue.
