im trying to initialize Direct Input but get an error:
error C2065: ''DirectInputCreate'' : undeclared identifier
i cant seem to understand why.
heres parts of my code:
#include "dinput.h"
blah blah...
//Globals
LPDIRECTINPUT lpdi;
LPDIRECTINPUTDEVICE lpdiKeyboard;
blah blah...
int DI_Init()
{
if(DirectInputCreate(main_instance,DIRECTINPUT_VERSION,&lpdi,NULL)!=DI_OK)
{
MessageBox(main_window_handle,"Could not create DirectInput Object","Error",MB_OK);
return 0;
}
if(lpdi->CreateDevice(GUID_SysKeyboard,&lpdiKeyboard,NULL)!=DI_OK)
{
MessageBox(main_window_handle,"Could not create DirectInput device","Error",MB_OK);
return 0;
}
if(lpdiKeyboard->SetCooperativeLevel(main_window_handle,DISCL_NONEXCLUSIVE|DISCL_BACKGROUND)!=DI_OK)
{
MessageBox(main_window_handle,"Could not set cooperative level","Error",MB_OK);
return 0;
}
if(lpdiKeyboard->SetDataFormat(&c_dfDIKeyboard)!=DI_OK)
{
MessageBox(main_window_handle,"Could not set data format","Error",MB_OK);
return 0;
}
if(lpdiKeyboard->Acquire()!=DI_OK)
{
MessageBox(main_window_handle,"Could not acquire input device","Error",MB_OK);
return 0;
}
return 1;
}
im using DirectX 8 SDK maybe thats the problem.
