CONST_DIDEVICEOBJINSTANCEFLAGS

Members of the CONST_DIDEVICEOBJINSTANCEFLAGS enumeration describe device object capabilities and are returned by the DirectInputDeviceObjectInstance.GetFlags method. They are also present in the DIOBJECTDATAFORMAT type passed to the DirectInputDevice.SetDataFormat method

Enum CONST_DIDEVICEINSTANCEFLAGS
    DIDOI_ASPECTACCEL =     768 (&H300)
    DIDOI_ASPECTFORCE =    1024 (&H400)
    DIDOI_ASPECTMASK =     3840 (&HF00)
    DIDOI_ASPECTPOSITION =  256 (&H100)
    DIDOI_ASPECTVELOCITY =  512 (&H200)
    DIDOI_FFACTUATOR =        1 
    DIDOI_FFEFFECTTRIGGER =   2 
    DIDOI_POLLED =        32768 (&H8000)
End Enum

DIDOI_ASPECTACCEL

The object reports acceleration information.

DIDOI_ASPECTFORCE

The object reports force information.

DIDOI_ASPECTMASK

The bits that are used to report aspect information. An object can represent at most one aspect.

DIDOI_ASPECTPOSITION

The object reports position information.

DIDOI_ASPECTVELOCITY

The object reports velocity information.

DIDOI_FFACTUATOR

The object can have force-feedback effects applied to it.

DIDOI_FFEFFECTTRIGGER

The object can trigger playback of force-feedback effects.

DIDOI_POLLED

The object does not return data until the DirectInputDevice.Poll method is called.

Remarks

The only one of these flags that is of interest for applications developed with DirectX for Visual Basic is DIDIO_POLLED.
