I get this message whenever I compile my project. Everything still seems to run fine though. Just wondering if something is wrong or if this is normal. Compiling... Object.cpp WinMain.cpp c:\dxsdk\include\dinput.h: DIRECTINPUT_VERSION undefined. Defaulting to version 0x0800 Linking... BounceTest.exe - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)

  
HRESULT hr;

hr = (DirectInput8Create(hInst, DIRECTINPUT_VERSION, IID_IDirectInput8, (void**)&g_pDI, NULL));
	
if (FAILED(hr))
{
	WriteToLog("ERROR initializing DirectInput8.");
	return FALSE;
}

As for as I can tell everything is done correctly. Is there anything wrong? Quiggy.

I get that too. Haven''t had any problems with ignoring it though so I would suggest just ignore it.

There''s something in the dx docs about it if you take a look. I believe it has something to do if you don''t include something or define something, then it automatically defaults to the newest version of directinput, so you are fine with leaving it that way. I do.

Dont worry about that warning. But if you want it to go away, just put this before you include dinput.h
#define DIRECTINPUT_VERSION 0x0800
and your warning is gone
