[Dev-C++] joySetCapture : "WM_JOYMOVE" ???

[Ben L. <lau...@in...>]

Hi !
I need help !
I'm trying to use function joySetCapture to send a message to my window =
when the joystick position moves.
But, that's it, the message "WM_JOYMOVE" is not knowed in Dev-C++.=20
It gives me an error "WM_JOYMOVE undeclared"

Here's what the WIN32 API help says :
    You can notify Windows to send joystick messages to an application =
whenever the position of a joystick axis changes by a value greater than =
the movement threshold of the device. The movement threshold is the =
distance the joystick must be moved before a WM_JOYMOVE message is sent =
to a window that has captured the device. The threshold is initially =
zero. You can set the movement threshold by using the joySetThreshold =
function. You can retrieve the minimum polling frequency of the joystick =
by using the joyGetDevCaps function.

Have you got an idea to help me out ?

Thank you in anticipation,
    Ben.

That's correct. 
 
Here's what the WIN32 API help says regarding joystick notification messages:

Joystick messages notify your application that a joystick has changed position or that one of its buttons has changed states. Messages beginning with MM_JOY1 are sent to the function if your application requests input from the joystick using the identifier JOYSTICKID1, and MM_JOY2 messages are sent if your application requests input from the joystick using the identifier JOYSTICKID2. 

The messages in the following table identify the status of the joystick buttons:

Message	Description
MM_JOY1BUTTONDOWN	A button of joystick JOYSTICKID1 has been pressed.
MM_JOY1BUTTONUP	A button of joystick JOYSTICKID1 has been released.
MM_JOY1MOVE	Joystick JOYSTICKID1 changed position in the x- or y-direction.
MM_JOY1ZMOVE	Joystick JOYSTICKID1 changed position in the z-direction.
MM_JOY2BUTTONDOWN	A button of joystick JOYSTICKID2 has been pressed.
MM_JOY2BUTTONUP	A button of joystick JOYSTICKID2 has been released.
MM_JOY2MOVE	Joystick JOYSTICKID2 changed position in the x- or y-direction
MM_JOY2ZMOVE	Joystick JOYSTICKID2 changed position in the z-direction.
All messages report nonexistent buttons as released.

Hope this helps


Cheers,
