IDirectInputJoyConfig8::GetConfig method (dinputd.h)

The IDirectInputJoyConfig8::GetConfig method obtains information about a joystick's configuration.

Syntax

HRESULT GetConfig(
  UINT          unnamedParam1,
  LPDIJOYCONFIG unnamedParam2,
  DWORD         unnamedParam3
);

Parameters

unnamedParam1

Indicates a joystick identification number. This is a nonnegative integer. To enumerate joysticks, begin with joystick zero and increment the joystick number by one until the function returns DIERR_NOMOREITEMS.

unnamedParam2

Points to a structure that receives information about the joystick configuration. The caller "must" initialize the dwSize member of the DIJOYCONFIG structure before calling this method.

unnamedParam3

Specifies the members of the structure pointed to by pjc that are to be filled in. This parameter can be zero, one, or more of the following:

DIJC_GUIDINSTANCE

Indicates that the instance GUID for the joystick is being requested. An application can pass the instance GUID to IDirectInput::CreateDevice to obtain an IDirectInputDevice interface to the joystick. Note that this flag is not a valid parameter for IDirectInputJoyConfig8::SetConfig.

DIJC_REGHWCONFIGTYPE

Indicates that the hardware configuration for the joystick (the hwc member of the DIJOYCONFIG structure) and the joystick type name (the wszType member of the same structure) are being requested. Note that the hardware configuration and type name cannot be retrieved separately.

DIJC_GAIN

Indicates that the force-feedback gain for the joystick is being requested.

DIJC_CALLOUT

Indicates that the joystick polling callout is being requested.

Return value

Returns DI_OK if successful; otherwise, returns one of the following COM error values:
