Could any of you who would like to participate, do as this kind fellow did and use this other thread to mention what joystick apps you are using.

Many thanks.

What specifically are these other apps you mentioned? I'd like to check out the joystick implementation in them.

Thanks.

You may have to read up on the HID API. The code is long but fairly easy to understand (IMO). The code reads all the descriptive data from each device into an array. The array is loaded in the order the devices are discovered. The code then attempts to wait on all devices with usage page 1, usage 4 ...

Yes of course the HIDTest code lists the information for all your devices, but only, I think, prints out the values for the first device in the list. Since your USB bus can constantly have a different arrangement of devices, you need to look at each device descriptor to figure out which one you want...

If you don't want a windows main loop, you should use the HID API. There are examples posted in the forum.

Hey no problem man. It's my job. And you got me curious as to why it didn't work. Unfortunately, we automatically install the x64 version on x64 (we also install the x86 version too, as you see). It may have something to do with the x64 version of VS2005. It works fine on an x86 machine. Go figure. ...

Sorry it took so long. I had to find an x64 machine then install Visual Studio 2005. Sure enough you are absolutely correct. It appears the 64-bit TDxInput is not being registered correctly. I even tried registering it manually and it didn't show up. You must have been the first to have tried it. I'...

You are importing the 64-bit DLL, right? (win64 subdir, not win32)

Hello PowderGoblin, Do we care about our potential developers? Well, I'm on Christmas break, sitting on my couch, on Saturday morning, answering your post. What do you think? Jet.exe is written in C. It uses our "old" SDK (C/C++/Win32/MFC). I wrote it so many years ago, I can't even recall...

The next major release will support multiple devices. I can't commit to anything publicly about the schedule. It will be announced on the forum when it is ready.

Hi Paul, Your devices are from completely different generations (and probably centuries <G>). I don't think there is one driver that will work for both. That doesn't mean you have to do a complete uninstall/install individually though. The parts that are different, in your case, are probably limited...

Hi Chris, To control the SN LEDs you can use the HIDRezero example from the ftp site but send a packet type 4 instead of 7. Data byte 1 turns the LEDs on. 0 turns them off. You can mix this HID code in with your RawInput code because it is output only. Just call it as a standalone subroutine. Yes, t...

I think that's still a problem on a single thread. You need one thread per device (each with its own wait). But if you break in to the windows event loop, it is much easier to use RawInput.
