[C#] Directinput mouse tutorials

 Yeah, anyone know where I can find some... a google search brings up nothing I can use. I am mainly looking how to use the mouse buttons, then the position on the screen btw.

Code: [Select]

private Device _keyboardDevice, _mouseDevice;

public void InitializeDevice()
{
// Create the input device's.
_keyboardDevice = new Device(SystemGuid.Keyboard);
if (_keyboardDevice == null) return;
_mouseDevice = new Device(SystemGuid.Mouse);
if (_mouseDevice == null) return;

// Set the cooperative mode of this device.
_keyboardDevice.SetCooperativeLevel(null, CooperativeLevelFlags.Background | CooperativeLevelFlags.NonExclusive);
_mouseDevice.SetCooperativeLevel(null, CooperativeLevelFlags.Background | CooperativeLevelFlags.NonExclusive);

// Decide what data format we want the device to return.
_keyboardDevice.SetDataFormat(DeviceDataFormat.Keyboard);
_mouseDevice.SetDataFormat(DeviceDataFormat.Mouse);

// Aquire a connection to the physical device.
try
{
_keyboardDevice.Acquire();
_mouseDevice.Acquire();
}
catch (DirectXException)
{
_keyboardDevice = null;
_mouseDevice = null;
return;
}
}

You can then get the state of the keyboard using;

Code: [Select]

_keyboardDevice.GetCurrentKeyboardState();

And the mouse state using;

Code: [Select]

_mouseDevice.CurrentMouseState;

Sorry if thats not a very good explanation, I need sleep at the moment >.<.

 Hmm... I already got that far but thank you for helping. I was more looking for how to check if a mouse button is up or down. : ) Hope you can help in the morning.

Hmm... I already got that far but thank you for helping. I was more looking for how to check if a mouse button is up or down. : ) Hope you can help in the morning.

Code: [Select]

byte[] mouseButtons = _mouseState.GetMouseButtons();

If element 1 is set, left mouse button is pressed, if element 2 is set, right mouse button is pressed, if element 3 is set, middle mouse button is pressed.

eg.

Code: [Select]

if (mouseButtons[0] != 0)
      System.Console.WriteLine("Left mouse button is down...");
else if (mouseButtons[1] != 0)
      System.Console.WriteLine("Middle mouse button is down...");
else if (mouseButtons[2] != 0)
      System.Console.WriteLine("Right mouse button is down...");

I really do need sleep now.
