# IGameInputDispatcher

Allows you to take manual control of scheduling the background work run by the GameInput API.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
class IGameInputDispatcher : public IUnknown
```

## Methods

| Method                                                                                                                   | Description                                                                             |

| [Dispatch](/reference/input/gameinput/interfaces/IGameInputDispatcher/methods/igameinputdispatcher_dispatch)             | Processes tasks in the dispatcher's queue.                                              |
| [OpenWaitHandle](/reference/input/gameinput/interfaces/IGameInputDispatcher/methods/igameinputdispatcher_openwaithandle) | Provides a wait handle that indicates when tasks are available in the dispatcher queue. |

## Remarks

Making a reference to the `IGameInputDispatcher` switches GameInput to "manual dispatch" mode, and releasing all references to the `IGameInputDispatcher` object returns it to "automatic dispatch" mode.

## Requirements

**Header:** GameInput.h

**Supported platforms:** Windows, XBOX One family consoles and XBOX Series consoles
