I need to write a receiver on windows and there are virtual keyboard and
mice on iphone or PDA phone to control the PC through wifi or bluetooth.

I did not write windows driver before and how can I accomplish the task?

First, you need to do a lot more research to make sure you understand what
you're asking. Those devices shouldn't need a driver at all.

When they say "wifi", they just mean "over a network". You can do that
with a normal TCP socket application. The phone sends a protocol -- which
you can invent -- over to the PC application, and the application just
injects mouse or keyboard events, using something like SendInput.

For Bluetooth, there are already drivers that will let the phone and PC set
up a connection. After that, you just need an application to tap into that
connection. I'm not as good in Bluetooth, but I don't think you'll need a
driver here, either.
