Cheers,
While waiting for a new computer to arrive, I used the break from development duties to browse MSDN for development updates (it's been YEARS since the last time I did so). It seems Microsoft has all but abandoned DirectInput a long while ago. So, a question;
If DirectInput is kicked to the curb in the future iterations, is there a way to use Windows API to;
A) track relative mouse movement and
B) restrict the mouse to the app window without resorting to global ClipCursor trap?
I know I could do a horrible cluster-frakk of a work-around using global hooks, forced cursor re-positioning and the like, but that seems like awful lot of effort for something this simple. Especially since main motives for MS to move stuff over to Windows API has been, according to them, streamlining the codebase.
Sorry, if this question seems silly, but I just refuse to believe this task has moved from a simple few-lines-of-code into a colossal API-hacking nightmare - there just has to be something I'm missing.
Thanks you for your patience with silly questions! :D
