DirectInputEscape
Sends a hardware-specific command to the force-feedback driver. (v3)Syntax
Parameters
command _In_Type: uint32_t Driver-specific command number. Consult the driver documentation for a list of valid commands. bufferIn _In_reads_bytes_(bufferInSize)
Type: const void* Buffer containing the data required to perform the operation. bufferInSize _In_
Type: size_t Size, in bytes, of the
bufferIn buffer.
bufferOut _Out_writes_bytes_(bufferOutSize)Type: void* Buffer containing the data returned from the operation. bufferOutSize _In_
Type: size_t Size, in bytes, of the
bufferOut buffer.
bufferOutSizeWritten _Out_Opt_Type: size_t* Size, in bytes, written to the
bufferOut buffer.
Return value
Type: HRESULT Function result.Remarks
Many force feedback devices on PC (most commonly steering wheels) are based on a DirectInput user-mode driver, which is provided by the hardware manufacturer. In addition to supporting common features like force feedback effects, the driver also provides a mechanism for doing opaque IOCTL-like communication, called Escape. GameInput makes no attempt to parse or modify the data being exchanged between the game and DirectInput, it is a straight pass-through.Requirements
