If your device driver is a member of the I/OKit’s Storage, Network, or Serial families, then your clients can access yourdriver’s services by using POSIX I/O routines.So you can either use HID Manager apis directly or you can use or (as the other answer mentions) which are nothing more than wrapper libraries over HID Manager apis.
The benefit of using these libraries is that they abstract most of the low level calls thus making them easier to use.
Another way to open Device Manager, at least in Windows 7, is through GodMode. This is a special folder that gives you access to tons of settings and controls found throughout the operating system. If you already use GodMode, opening Device Manager there might be your preferred way to use it.
