Metro app with FTDI-USB driver

(Note: the following question is about a Intel based full Windows 8 tablet for which the drivers work perfectly for regular Windows Desktop (i. e. non-Metro) applications.)


For Metro applications, there's the generic WinUSB support, but I'm unsure what is needed to use the widely used FTDI driver and f2dx.dll user space handler. Due to the fact that the FTDI chips don't support direct endpoint based communication, but instead impose some additional custom protocol, I cannot simply use the endpoint based WinUSB driver. Would switching to the CDC mode of FTDI work with Metro (esentially, this causes the device to appear as a serial port) ?
