[.net] DirectInput .NET 2.0
Author
Does anyone know where the DirectInput Device guids are located in .NET 2.0? They used to be SystemGuid.* but now I have no idea where they are. Thanks
Microsoft.DirectX.DirectInput ?
here's a link. hope it helps.

Nah, that's for .NET 1.1 and the August SDK. But I figured out how to do it. Here's what I did in case anyone's interested:
Guid guid = new Guid();InputList<DeviceInstance> inputList = Manager.Devices;foreach ( DeviceInstance d in inputList ){ if ( d.ProductName == "Mouse" ) { guid = d.Product; break; }}
Hi, I actually did the same thing, but I was using the DeviceInstance.Instance property. But it doesen't matter wether I user DeviceInstance.Instance or DeviceInstance.Product I always get an Exception when trying to aquire the device: "Value does not fall within the expected range!".
The code worked flawlessly with the .NET 1.1 MDX-SDK. Anyone else experiencing this kind of problem?

I have encountered the same problem. But the solution you presented won't work in every case as some device names may be localized. I tried to check the device type of the DeviceInstance, but there was no match.
DeviceType of mouse: 274
DeviceType of keyboard: 1043
And these are the possible values of the DeviceType enumeration:
Does anybody know a different solution?

public enum DeviceType { LimitedGameSubtype = 1, Device = 17, Mouse = 18, Keyboard = 19, Joystick = 20, Gamepad = 21, Driving = 22, Flight = 23, FirstPerson = 24, DeviceControl = 25, ScreenPointer = 26, Remote = 27, Supplemental = 28, }Does anybody know a different solution?
I developed something which seems to work fine:
I don't know whether this is the officially proposed method but at least you avoid comparing strings.
Guid keyboardGuid = new Guid();InputList<DeviceInstance> deviceInstances = Manager.GetDevices(DeviceType.Keyboard, EnumDevicesFlags.AllDevices);if (deviceInstances.Count >= 1) keyboardGuid = deviceInstances[0].Instance;I don't know whether this is the officially proposed method but at least you avoid comparing strings.
Looks like I'm the only one who's not able to acquire the created devices. I use the following code and I still always get an "Value does not fall within the expected range" - exception when trying to acquire the device. The code lies directly within my form-class, so this.Handle points to the handle of the form.
Anyone has a solution for this?
Thanks
public void CreateDevices() { InputList<DeviceInstance> inputlist = Manager.GetDevices(DeviceClass.Keyboard, EnumDevicesFlags.AttachedOnly); if (inputlist.Count > 0) { try { m_keyboard = new Device(inputlist[0].Instance); try { m_keyboard.SetCooperativeLevel(this.Handle, CooperativeLevelFlags.NonExclusive | CooperativeLevelFlags.Background); m_keyboard.Acquire(); MessageBox.Show("Keyboard-Device acquired"); } catch (Exception e2) { MessageBox.Show("Could not acquire device : " + e2.ToString()); } } catch (Exception e) { MessageBox.Show("Could not create device " + inputlist[0] + ": " + e.ToString()); } } }Anyone has a solution for this?
Thanks

You just need to add one line of code (put this before you try to acquire the device):
m_keyboard.SetDataFormat(DeviceDataFormat.Keyboard);This topic is closed to new replies.
