Microsoft DirectX 8.0 (C++) |
Used by the IDirectInputDevice8::Escape and IDirectInputEffect::Escape methods to pass hardware-specific data directly to the device driver.
typedef struct DIEFFESCAPE { DWORD dwSize; DWORD dwCommand; LPVOID lpvInBuffer; DWORD cbInBuffer; LPVOID lpvOutBuffer; DWORD cbOutBuffer; } DIEFFESCAPE, *LPDIEFFESCAPE;
Because each driver implements different escapes, it is the application's responsibility to ensure that it is talking to the correct driver by comparing the guidFFDriver member in the DIDEVICEINSTANCE structure against the value the application is expecting.
Windows NT/2000: Requires Windows® 2000.
