I am new to coding directX, and I am baffled by the latest Unresolved External error I''m getting. m_keyboard->SetDataFormat(&c_dfDIKeyboard) Results in the compiler complaining about unresolved external ''_c_dfDIKeyboard''.. I have included dinput.h, and I have the dinput8.lib and dxguid.lib libraries added to my project as well. Any ideas? Is there another lib I should have?

Silly question: Did you also include the dinput.cpp file in your workspace?

If you''re using DX8, you need to type _INIT_GUID (check the spelling on that

Essentially, this sets up all the GUIDs used by DI

Hey, I found the problem.. I am using Borland to compile, so I had downloaded the Borland libs a while ago. I happened to read the readme that came with that download, and I guess they had moved all of the c_dfDI globals to c_dinput.lib. Adding c_dinput.lib to my project solved the problem.

Thanks for your help anyways!
