How do we get mouse input under DirectX 9? What interfaces are commonly used?

You just use the old (well it's perfect, so why change it) DirectInput interfaces. Although, somewhere in the October SDK-thread I read that it's better (read: preparing for the future) to use Windows Messages instead.

Using the standard empthy project in the DX SDK it seems like I can not create :

LPDIRECTINPUT8*	g_lpDI = NULL;

Anything special I should include?

Resolved:
Just include <dinput.h> and define a DIRECTINPUT_VERSION 0x0800

Actually I think its :=

#include <dinput.h>
#pragma comment(lib, "dinput8.lib")
