Read gamepad input

[2005 user]

Hello,

I have this gamepad:

I want to write a small application that is able to read what button is pressed on the gamepad.

I've seen this thread:

but this does not read the input of the controller, it only initialize it.

Is there someone who can help me? I do not use XNA.

Edit: I've seen this thread:

I think it describes basically what I need . But your advice is of course welcome.

Thanks in advance.
