Remarks

The SendGameReportEx method sends a controller state represented by a GAMEPAD_REPORT_EX to a virtual controller created by IXtfInputClient::ConnectGamepad. You will need to send multiple states to simulate a single button press and release. To simulate a button press, call SendGamepadReportEx with the appropriate flag set in GAMEPAD_REPORT_EX.Buttons, and then call SendGamepadReportEx again, with GAMEPAD_REPORT_EX.Buttons set to GAMEPAD_BUTTONS::NONE. SendGamepadReportEx can be called at 60Hz to mimic data coming from a physical controller.
