WdfDeviceRemoveDependentUsageDeviceObject method
[Applies to KMDF only]
The WdfDeviceRemoveDependentUsageDeviceObject method indicates that a specified device no longer depends on another device when the specified device is used to store special files.
Syntax
VOID WdfDeviceRemoveDependentUsageDeviceObject( [in] WDFDEVICE Device, [in] PDEVICE_OBJECT DependentDevice );
Parameters
- Device [in]
- 
A handle to a framework device object. 
- DependentDevice [in]
- 
A pointer to a caller-supplied DEVICE_OBJECT structure that identifies a device that Device depends on. 
Return value
None.
Remarks
Your driver can call WdfDeviceRemoveDependentUsageDeviceObject to remove a device dependency that a previous call to WdfDeviceAddDependentUsageDeviceObject created.

Examples
The following code example removes a device (pDeviceObject) from the list of devices that another device (device) depends on.
status = WdfDeviceRemoveDependentUsageDeviceObject(
                                                device,
                                                pDeviceObject
                                                );
