Commercial component: joystick driver controlled by user software

[Hermanutz]

Hello,

I'm look after a commercial joystick driver controlled by my application
(determine the number of axis, determine the number of buttons, transmit
axis values and button values). I thing, the virtual joystick driver
possible is a combination of an joystick or game port minidriver and a
opportunity to control this driver through IOControl or an ActiveX component
etc. which I can order about my application.

Why I look after such comonent is, about the defined DirectInput interface
other applications should be able to get data from my application (process
communication). I thinking, the DirectInput interface is the best
combination with the kind of data, which should be exchange by this
interface. And destination computers where my application will be installed,
dosn't have a real physical joystick.

Do anyone kow such component?

Thanks and best regards,

Hubert

Hello Hermanutz,

Unfortunately, I am not aware of such a device. And, I now find myself with the same need as you.

Maybe if enough of us have the same need, there will be more people familiar with devices, troubleshooting, etc, and thus, more who are able to provide helpful suggestions as this is normally one of the best and most responsive of forums.

Good luck & let me know if something turns up!
