Strange Exception w/ Direct Input
Author
I am trying to use directinput with managed dx9. When I try to acquire a dinput device(keyboard) I get the following exception:
''Microsoft.DirectX.DirectInput.OtherApplicationHasPriorityException'' Does anyone know what could be causing this error?

Just figured out that it works when set to Background instead of foreground. There is no need for me to change the nonexclusive flag to exclusive for it to work. What is the difference? Pipo, thanks for the tip and btw I know c++ very well.
