Step 7: Closing Down the DirectInput System

When an application is about to close, it should destroy all DirectInput objects. This is a three-step process.

• Release access to all DirectInput devices (IDirectInputDevice8 Interface).
• Release all DirectInput devices (IDirectInputDevice8::Release ).
• Release the DirectInput object (IDirectInput8::Release ).

For a sample function that closes down the DirectInput system, see Tutorial 1 Samples.
