This page is automatically generated from the assembly documentation.

It provides links between managed types and methods in the SharpDX.DirectInput assembly and the original documentation of the DirectInput API on MSDN.

The DirectInput API is used to process data from a joystick, or other game controller.

Enumerations

`DeviceFlags`	`DIDC`<p>Flags associated with the device.</p>
`DeviceObjectTypeFlags`	`DIDFT_FLAGS`<p>No documentation.</p>
`DeviceType`	`DI8DEVTYPE`<p>The DIJOYTYPEINFO structure contains information about a joystick type.</p>
`EffectFileFlags`	`DIFEF`<p>To load effects, call the method.</p>
`EffectFlags`	`DIEFF`<p>Used by theIDirectInputDevice8::CreateEffectmethod to initialize a newIDirectInputEffect Interfaceobject.</p>
`EffectParameterFlags`	`DIEP`<p>You can modify the basic magnitude of some effects by applying an envelope and an offset.</p>
`EffectPlayFlags`	`DIES`<p>No documentation.</p>
`EffectStatus`	`DIEGES`<p>Retrieves the status of an effect.</p>
`EffectType`	`DIEFT`<p>No documentation.</p>

`ForceFeedbackState`	`DIGFFS`<p>Retrieves the state of the device’s force-feedback system.</p>
`ImageUsage`	`DIDIFT`<p>Carries information required to display a device image or an overlay image with a callout.</p>
`Key`	`DIK`<p>Keyboard device constants, defined in Dinput.</p>
`ObjectAspect`	`DIDOI`<p>Before you begin asking for input from a device, you need to know something about its capabilities.</p>
`TextAlignment`	`DIDAL`<p>Carries information required to display a device image or an overlay image with a callout.</p>

Structures

Managed	Native
