C++: Mouse movement
Hi.
I have a 3D environment in which I can move around using the keyboard. Which function should I use if I want mouse movement instead??

A good start if you are unfamiliar with the way the mouse works in DX is too look at the sample in the SDK.,..it helped me a lot the first time.
Is your problems by setting it up, or the movement it self?

I'm guessing you weren't using DirtectInput for the keyboard? Well for the mouse I'd recommend using DirectX cos I don't think there is similar functions for the mouse :unsure:. I was thinking this the other day cos I was sure I have done it before but I couldn't remember the APIs   .

Yes, I know that I must use DirectInput since the WinAPI only supports x,y movement. But I dont know how to get started...

Have you looked at the samples in the SDK. I am not sure if I can explain it better then those samples...but I can try if you don't get them....they are very self explicable....

Are you using VB or C++? I'll try and dig out a project and show you the Input part from it .

Sorry its taken me a while to get back to this but I eventually got sometime today and when i looked I haven't actually got an example for mouse input, just Keyboard.....strange cos I sear I saw it somewhere. I remember a while back making a thread asking if anyone had used Dx9 DInput for a mouse and Note replied  .

If you want code for init a mouse with direct input, and a routine to use it...I can post one...

BTW which version of Dx would it be? As for C++ I've only used Dx9 but I've used previous Dx version in VB, converting the keyboard code I used in VB & Dx7 to C++ & Dx9 wasn't too hard .
