Hello all, How to acquire the mouse in my DirectX7 application? My program works with directX8, i can acquire the mouse this way. It doesn''t work for 7, it gives me an error that i''m not allowed to do it or something like that. How come? Thanks

DirectInput isn''t really made for that type of input. Try using WM_CHAR instead.

It should be basically the same, except you have to use the DirectX 7 interfaces instead of the DirectX 8 ones. Otherwise, I don''t think there was much difference so I''d find the exact error and recheck your code.
