I want to create a virtual MIDI loopback cable program that creates virtual MIDI ports to interconnect applications on Windows that want to open hardware-MIDI-ports for communication.

SOrry if I am not clear in my requirements, here is an example application that does what I intend to do.

How do I go about this? Any tips or pointers are greatly appreciated.

After many nights of searching, the best way I have found is to actually use Tobias Erichsen's driver.

His driver works quite well, and if you e-mail him, he will provide you with the API necessary.
