How do you get data from the joystick?

Hi.
Don't know HOW TO exactly, but as I see it there are 2 ways.
1. API.
There's a number of API's all starting with "joy". You should be able to find more about those from MSDN or even the help.
2. DirectX.
If you use DX9 SDK you could use DirectInput.
As I said, I have never done this myself, but I hope this can guide you in the right direction.
