[Plib-devel] Number of buttons on a joystick

[Trammell H. <hud...@sw...>]

I see in the plib 1.8.4 release that there is a protected data member
named 'num_buttons' in the jsJoystick class, but nothing that exposes
this to the user of the class.  For a joystick configuration tool I
need to know how many buttons can be configured and can get it by
inheriting from jsJoystick and writing my own accessor.

This works great for me under Linux, although I'd prefer not to
depend that closely on an implementation detail.  More problematic,
however, is that it looks like the Windows version doesn't fill in
this member.  Is there a way to portably get the number of buttons?

Thanks,
