Can someone please help me with the value of this gibberish in dinput.h? How do I calculate the value of DIPROP_AXISMODE? Here is a snippet of dinput.h..





#define DIPROP_BUFFERSIZE	MAKEDIPROP(1)



#define DIPROP_AXISMODE 	MAKEDIPROP(2)

MAKEDIPROP is a macro defined as...



#ifdef __cplusplus

#define MAKEDIPROP(prop)    (*(const GUID *)(prop))

#else

#define MAKEDIPROP(prop)    ((REFGUID)(prop))

#endif

I think MAKEDIPROP is a macro but I don't know what it does.

Also I was thinking about getting an old C++ compiler just to decode the DirectX include files. What is the lowest version of VC++ I could use for DirectX 7?

Thanks in advance.

I just tried ignoring the macro MAKEDIPROP and set DIPROP_AXISMODE to 2 and it works.:confused:

C++ seems to make simple things complicated.

Does anyone have asm include files for DirectX 7 that I could have? MASM or TASM would be fine

Thanks again

Hi,

those macros are just casts to keep the c++/c compiler happy; in assembler you can ignore them, much like MAKEINTRESOURCE etc.
