RE: [GD-Windows] GetAsyncKeyState / DI

[Pascal G. <pas...@ar...>]

I have implemented both as I use the events as a fall back for the case
where DI cannot be used. It's not that much difficult to add but at least
you get one safety net. Are you really adverse to using it because you can
pretty much reuse the code from the DI samples. I can't really say which one
is better though.

Subject: [GD-Windows] GetAsyncKeyState / DI


Say I have an app that just uses "simple" inputs :
- standard mouse messages
- GetAsyncKeyState() for keys

i.e. no special devices such as force feedback joysticks, etc (or even, no
joystick at all)

Is there any advantages to use DirectInput instead ? What would be the
benefits in my case ? (It looks to me like it wouldn't be better, but maybe
I'm misssing something)
