Plug and Play Support

Plug and Play is a feature of Windows that, with little or no user intervention, automatically installs and configures drivers when their corresponding hardware peripherals are plugged into a PC. This feature applies to peripherals designed according to the Plug and Play specification. Supporting and appropriately adapting to Plug and Play hardware change can make your application easier to use. Following are some examples of supporting Plug and Play:

• Resizing your windows and toolbars relevant to screen size changes.
• Prompting users to shut down and save their data when the system issues a low power warning.
• Warning users about open network files when undocking their computers.
• Saving and closing files appropriately when users eject or remove removable media or storage devices or when network connections are broken.
