Members

ActionName

Application-defined name of the action. This string is displayed by the device property sheet when DirectInput8.ConfigureDevices is called. If sResIDString is not an empty string, this member is ignored.

lAppData

Value to be returned to the application when the state of the control associated with the action changes. This value is returned in the lUserData member of the DIDEVICEOBJECTDATA type retrieved by DirectInputDevice8.GetDeviceData.

lFlags

Flags used to request specific attributes or processing. Can be zero or one or more of the values in the CONST_DIAFLAGS enumeration.

lHow

Mapping mechanism used by Microsoft® DirectInput® to configure the action. This member receives one of the members of the CONST_DIAHFLAGS enumeration when the type is returned by DirectInputDevice8.BuildActionMap.

This member is ignored when the action map is passed to DirectInputDevice8.SetActionMap.

lObjId

Control identifier.

lSemantic

For a joystick, a predefined action mapping constant for this application genre, representing a virtual control. See CONST_DIGENRE.

This value can also be one of the CONST_DIMAPFLAGS enumeration to map the action to a virtual control not defined in a genre.

For a keyboard, mouse, or Microsoft DirectPlay® voice device, this value is a constant that represents a particular device object.
