I've been using DirectX SDK libraries (Specificaly DirectInput) to use a joystick with an desktop program, but I haven't been able to make the program get the input form the joystick (X and Y Axis). This is the code I'm using on Main Form:
[Code]...
Ok, so I am attempting to try my hand in directinput, I got the code up and running within VB.net, it recognizes the controller and almost all buttons work, but for some reason 2 or 3 of the axis do not work on each controller.I have tried this with an xbox360 wireless controller and a Logitech wired controller (ps2 style) they both show the correct amount of axis on each controller, but do not work correctly.[code]I have looked everywhere for my problem, but the issue is, I am not exactly sure what the problem is to search for.if anyone also knows how to access the "X" (power) button on the xbox controller, that would be awesome as well, because I want it to interact with my program!and if you don't have a wireless receiver a wired one is exactly the same...

like ive been searching for this for hours and can't find anything decent for VB 2008
I've been working with code that polls a USB controller for changes using DirectInput, however I would much prefer I could make it event-driven instead (to cut CPU usage). Does anyone know if there is some method of doing this with DirectInput? I can provide the code upon request.

DirectInput or not...it doesn't matter. I'm just trying to use a USB joystick within my program. I don't care how I do it.
I am writing a program in VB express 2008 which I want to be able to receive input from an xbox controller as well as activate the rumble on the controller. I am using the XBCD drivers for the controller [URL].Basically I want to say "the further forward the thumbstick is pushed the more the controller should vibrate".

View 3 RepliesI'm working on a project where I have to send data to the serial port through a radio modem onto a servo controller. Everything works fine but since I use a timer to detect joystick changes (directX). Even if I don't touch the joystick, because of the timer it still sends data thru which is killing my battery on the receiver side.
View 2 RepliesHow to access Joystick in VC++ 2005
View 1 RepliesWhen I plug in the USB joystick, I'll have to go to the control panel and select game controllers. I click on the properties and a pop-up is displayed. On the top left hand corner of it, there's this small square 'picture' with a plus sign at the middle indicating the joysticks' movement. As I moved up, the sign moves up as well and as I move down it does too. It depicts the movements of the joystick in use.
I was wondering how to code the exact same thing as I'm planning to place the square thingy in a 'question' image which will change after every submitted answer of the image using the joystick.
i want to read the joystick input?is it somewhat like keyboard input?

I have a VB 6 SP6 application that uses DirectX 7 to interface to a USB joystick (Logitech Extreme 3D Pro).The application works under Windows XP Pro (32-bit).I've got Visual Studio and the application running under Windows 7 Pro SP1 (32-bit).
I've calibrated the joystick under Windows 7.The VB 6 application does not find any DirectX 7 joystick device to connect to.Otherwise, the VB 6 application works (GUI, embedded video, serial channel, Ethernet connections).The VB 6 application must be accessing the dx7vb.dll or it would crash.The joystick disc did not provide a driver.I installed the latest joystick Profiler vendor software from the Web.This is my first attempt to use Windows 7 as a platform.I'm not sure what to try from a Windows 7 perspective.
I have made a small program that reads the input of a joystick/GamePad and passes it on to a serial port. It works great I can see all the buttons pressed ect ( in a textbox). But When I minimize the form and press some buttons they are no longer passed on to the serial port and not shown into the textbox?

I only need to intercept that message, nothing more.
i've read about hooking (wich is illegal??), but its very difficult, and i do not know the c++ language, but i know vb very well.
What I am trying to do now is design a program that will play 4 different sound files depending on the position of a joystick. I am not looking for any kind of gradient to be involved. Any kind of forward position should play the file associated with "forward". Any kind of left position should play the file associated with "left". And the same for "back" and "right".

I try to find the example for reading data from USB Joystick using VB2010 but I couldn't. .
I found some but all were VB6.0.
Do I need to install DirectX or which component should I use. I can read data from mouse and keyboard.
A source code with the DirectInput code and yes i have been googling it and couldn't find one for vbnet yah that would be great to have it just Namespace blah blah function blah blah and this is how u use Directinput("0") or sumthn like that

I wrote an application to handle a joystick with directinput. It works fine if it uses the handle of the main window but it doesnt happen the same if the handle is the one of the component that contains the joystick's operation.
I mean:
main form handle: 15
component handle (which is inside the window and the joystick needs the focus of this component to work): 25
It always work if the handle i initilizate the device is the main form (15).How can i use only the handle of the component?
I have an application that requires data be entered, and after entering, a button is clicked to process that data. Clicking the button works just as it should--the data is processed properly. In constructing a test module, I provide a set of data values, followed by:
btnWhatever.PerformClick()
Nothing happens. I have used this syntax for years, and it has always worked flawlessly. I have triple checked everything else and isolated the problem to the failure of the PerformClick(). The PerformClick() is in a test subroutine that does nothing but fill textboxes and labels with default data, then calls the PerformClick() on the button to begin processing. Again, the button works fine, the data is entered as it should be, but the PerformClick() does not fire the click event.
