You don't. Drivers run in the kernel and are not connected to the user session at all.

Drivers run the process space of the OS as such they are not connected with user mode applications the only *documented* way to communicate with user mode is through IRPS. (using read,write,create, iodevicecontrol etc.. functions)

also as i don't think you got the concept yet drivers don't have a window or buttons or any sort of GUI, (excluding display drivers but again they don't have a GUI per se)

the only thing remotely similar to a GUI is for drivers is the property pages for NDIS Drivers (Network Drivers).

PLS read the WDDK !!!
