New Programmer- joystick use

[slalom]

Hi I have been programming for a about 3 months now, and am ready to get some joystick functionality. I have a Microsoft sidwinder precision pro, with its included .ocx (swppro.ocx). Can anyone point me to a site with some useful information on how to use this control? I guess the first program I would like to make with it is using the joystick to move my mouse cursor. I already have the mouse part taken care of, but have no idea how to use the joystick's control. I am using vb6. Thank you!

Try using JoyGetPos. It probably doesn't have all the stuff you need, but it can do buttons, as well as X and Y axes, and the throttle.
