Hello world !
I'm trying to convert a free source code i've found on the web to a really free dll to use 4 joysticks, wich can be available on my website in the futur if i don't fail.
Does a big master of the c++ can help me about one or two questions please ?

It use directinput but the functions inside the source code needs "hinstance" and "hwnd".
I don't know how to obtain them from the db window.

An idea please ?

you may need to use functions in the win32API.

That's exactly what I was going to say! (You will need to install DX SDK if you haven't already done so).

Ok,



DBPro will call this function automatically when it loads your DLL. Then you can access the hWnd & hInstance like this:



[EDIT]Forgot to tell you ... you can get the globstruct.h file from C:\Program Files\Dark Basic Software\Dark Basic Professional\Help\documents\Files\Third Party Commands\TESTCOMMANDS2
... or the equivalent location if you installed DBPro somewhere else.
