[AD] DirectInput

[ Thread Index | Date Index | More lists.liballeg.org/allegro-developers Archives ]


After trying to compile allegro 4.2.2 with DirectX March08 and MSVC9(2008)..

DirectInputCreate()  seems to have been dropped.

It appears the only course of action is to use  DirectInput8Create()
which contains different arguments.. so its not a direct replacement for DirectInputCreate()

(you also need  dinput8.lib  instead of  dinput.lib)


I SVN'd  4.9  and found it too is based on  DirectIinputCreate()

M$ seem to be going out of their way to drop  anything pre  DX8.
What if anything has been done/planned for allegro to move to DX>7 ?


aj.
