CONST_DIPHFLAGS

Members of the CONST_DIPHFLAGS enumeration are used to specify how a device object is identified. They are used in the DirectInputDevice.GetObjectInfo method as well as in the DIPROPLONG and DIPROPRANGE types.

Enum CONST_DIPHFLAGS
    DIPH_DEVICE  =  0
    DIPH_BYID  =    2
    DIPH_BYOFFSET = 1
End Enum

DIPH_DEVICE

The property applies to the entire device, not to a particular object.

DIPH_BYOFFSET

The device object is identified by the offset into the current data format of the object whose information is being accessed.

DIPH_BYID

The device object is identified by the instance identifier obtained from the return value of the DirectInputDeviceObjectInstance.GetType method.
