Visual C++ :: Program To Map Keyboard And Mouse To Xbox 360 Controller With Win32 And Xinput?
Aug 10, 2013
I am writing a program to map keyboard and mouse to an xbox 360 controller with win32 and xinput. I have everything going fine but when im trying to control the mouse with the thumbsticks I get problems with the movement if my program has the focus it moves fine but when I put another window in focus the movement is over sensitive here is the code I am using
I am trying to have a program that I am writing detect a controller and then say whether there is or is not one connected. But I am getting a lot of errors(25 actually) . Here is my code:
I am trying to detect keys pressed on a keyboard and mouse on both, Windows and Linux but I am unsure what would be the best practice way to do so. Will I have to detect the keys for each platform individually? Would you make use of an event listener? What's the best way to detect the input-devices?
I was trying to write a character controller but when I went to add my pointer to my character I get error
C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '*'
I've looked at all my classes involved but I don't see any errors and Visual Studio doesn't report any other specific errors. Is there any way of finding the source of this type of error?
I have a Win32 C++ application which works pretty well, but I don't like the GUI and I want to replace it with one designed graphically, a la Windows Forms. What is the best strategy to port my code? I tried creating a new Windows Forms C++ application and got pretty far with it, but was stymied when trying to call my unmanaged functions on a button press. If I can't use Forms to add a GUI without completely rewriting the program, what's my best bet?
You place a breakpoint at one of locations within the message loop. But I want the breakpoint to trigger when I click on the application window, for example. But I can't, it went so fast so long as I switch from VS to the application program, the breakpoint is hitted again, then the application is frozen again. I don't know how to setup a conditional breakpoint.
I can tons of information by calling DeviceIoControl (such as device ID, device description, whether it's connected or not) since I couldn't do it all with WMI. But I haven't figured out how to get from DeviceIoControl the info that a call to WMI's Win32_PortConnector gets. Are there any calls, directly to DeviceIoControl or something else that for a given device ID or device description would get the PortConnector information?
I would have used a combination of Win32_PortConnector and DeviceIoControl calls but the trouble with PortConnector is that it doesn't provide any information that would allow one to figure out which device ID it belongs to. Why do I need to do this? Because I'd like to get a combination of all the information the two methods provide for a given device such as a USB port, and all I'm getting from Win32_PortConnector is these scant few fields with no other clue:
There is function written C++, that must be compiled to DLL. This DLL is linked to some CAD (computer aded design) tool, that has special interface for it.
I want to add to this function some GUI (graphical user interface). So the creation of a window is necessary.
I've tried already with Win32, but without success.
The problem is that CreateWindow function requires application instance handle, that is provided by Windows itself when window is created in "normal conditions".
I am using visual studio 2012 on windows 7. but, when I have compiled my programs and run them on an older pc to test out its functions, I receive an error saying that the program is not a "valid win32 application." I have even tested this with a very simple hello world console application, but the problem still remains. Where is the error coming from? is the application corrupted during transport? (upload to internet) or are programs compiled on win 7 incompatible with win xp
When I click the mouse, the program doesn't seem to record the coordinates. So the if statements are never executed. One thing I noticed was that when the do while loop is running and the left mouse button is not pressed then X and Y of dwMousePosition are both 0. But then if I press the left mouse button then the coordinates become x = 1 and y = 0.
I am on Windows 7, 64 bit, using Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop
I have a dialog app with two separate static controls. Both controls have been subclassed from CStatic derived class to implement drag and drop and double clicking. The class works just fine, but I cannot figure out which of the controls is being double clicked or dragged and dropped onto because I only have the code below operating. I need some method in the derived class to determine which control is being manipulated.
Code: // header file #pragma once #ifndef __AFXWIN_H__
I made this (found the trick on the net)that allow to use the guide button of a 360 pad. I use wxdevc++.
#include <windows.h> #include <stdio.h> static const int guide_button_value = 0x0400; /* the secret function outputs a different struct than the official GetState. */ typedef struct { unsigned long eventCount;
[Code] .....
But I wanted to detect if it's held down for 3 second before do my printf
The usual solution is to detect if the button is pressed and if it's realeased but I can't use ximputgetstate or regular getstate (or I haven't successfully done it) .
I am writing an software that should be able to detect all keyboard inputs by the user. i.e., both hardware and software/on-screen keyboard.
This software is going to be written in a platform independent way and supposed to run on Windows, Linux, Android & iOS.
The idea is to capture the keyboard inputs from a low level, there by making sure that it doesn't miss any inputs even if it's a on-screen keyboard like in a mobile device.
I am looking at possible open source libraries that can be used.
By using visual studio 2010, I have problem calling up on screen keyboard using line below for Windows 7 64 bit.
WinExec("OSK.EXE", SW_SHOW);
However, it is working fine on windows XP 32 bit. How to call up on screen keyboard for 64 bit windows?
Code:
int _tmain(int argc, TCHAR* argv[], TCHAR* envp[]) { int nRetCode = 0; HMODULE hModule = ::GetModuleHandle(NULL); if (hModule != NULL) { // initialize MFC and print and error on failure
I am currently starting to attempt to make a program that can move my cursor to certain colors on my monitor. The problem is this seems like it will be 10x harder than I first thought.
For a ribbon bar with edit controls (CMFCRibbonEdit) I want to handle the mouse scroll events for the edit controls. That is, when the user clicks and then scrolls on the edit it will navigate a predefined list of strings. I want to capture the scroll event in order to update the edit text step by step.
This kind of behavior is implemented by the Spin Edit; I don't want to use the spin edit control since it only uses a list of integers and the spin buttons are too small.
Is there a way to catch the mouse scroll event for the CMFCRibbonEdit control? How to approach message handling for the ribbon (other messages than the COMMAND allowed by the ribbon designer). I'm using VS2010 on Windows 7 and the ribbon was designed with the ribbon designer?
In the main window I draw lots of background stuff using a memoryDC and BitBlt(). In the child window, I actually am not drawing anything, I just created it to have events like mouse over, etc. In the child window when the mouse is over the window I bring up a pop-up window. This works unless my mouse is over any parts where something is drawn in the main window, then the popup just flickers constantly. Why is the main window affecting my mouse over events if I am not handling any such events for it?
