# XInputSetStateEx

> XInputSetStateEx

# XInputSetStateEx

Sends vibration data to the specified controller. Supports the four-motor vibration capability of newer controllers.

<a id="syntaxSection" />

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
DWORD XInputSetStateEx(  
         DWORD dwUserIndex,  
         const XINPUT_VIBRATION_EX * pVibration  
)  
```

<a id="parametersSection" />

### Parameters

*dwUserIndex*   \_In\_\
Type: DWORD

Index of the gamer associated with the device; a value in the range of 0 to `XUSER_MAX_COUNT - 1`.

*pVibration*   \_In\_\
Type: [XINPUT\_VIBRATION\_EX](/reference/input/xinputongameinput/structs/xinput_vibration_ex)\*

Pointer to an [XINPUT\_VIBRATION\_EX](/reference/input/xinputongameinput/structs/xinput_vibration_ex) object that contains the vibration information to be sent to the controller.

<a id="retvalSection" />

### Return value

Type: DWORD

If the function succeeds, it returns `ERROR_SUCCESS`.

If the controller is not connected, the function returns `ERROR_DEVICE_NOT_CONNECTED`.

If the function fails, it returns an error code defined in WinError.h.

## Remarks

Calling this function is safe even during an interaction with a two-motor controller. Any vibration setting sent to `XInputSetStateEx` for a two-motor controller will be adjusted to ensure that the controller still vibrates with its best approximation for the input sent. For this reason, we recommend that you call `XInputSetStateEx` in situations where you would call [XInputSetState](/reference/input/xinputongameinput/functions/xinputsetstate).
