Hi, and thanks in advance if anyone can help me!<br />
<br />
I'd like to be able to capture any force feedback directInput effects coming from any running game, but I can't seem to find out how to do it. &nbsp;I guess I need to emulate a directInput joystick decice somehow, and report its capabilities to any querying app as being able to deal with all force feedback effects, but I've only found simple code snippets on how to emulate joystick / mouse or read positions from actual joystick / mouse etc.<br />
<br />
Could someone please point me in the right direction or provide any help / sample code to get me started?<br />
<br />
I'm using VS2005 (vc++ MFC/win32).<br />
<br />
A million thanks if you can help!<br />
<br />

How to capture DirectInput FFB effects from an application?

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.

Microsoft Development

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
