I''m writing a new application with DirectX from scratch and now that I''m trying to implement the input devices it''s giving me the typical "Unresolved external" errors. I linked it to dinput8.lib and included dinput.h. What else should I do? I have another program that works fine with what I think is the exact same setup. An example error: "dinput8.lib(dilib1.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _GUID_ZAxis" Any advice? Thanks VS .NET with DX 8.1

Are you getting more than one complaint about unresolved external GUIDs? If you are, you probably aren''t linking to dxguid.lib, or haven''t got "#define INITGUID" before you include dinput.h.

Doh, I forgot the #define INITGUID. It didn''t work after I put that but after a couple compiles it ended up working.. ? Ah well, thanks!! It works great now.
