DIPROPHEADER

DIPROPHEADER is a generic structure placed at the beginning of all property structures.

typedef struct { 
    DWORD    dwSize; 
    DWORD    dwHeaderSize; 
    DWORD    dwObj; 
    DWORD    dwHow; 
} DIPROPHEADER, *LPDIPROPHEADER; 
 
typedef const DIPROPHEADER *LPCDIPROPHEADER;

Members

dwSize

Size of the enclosing structure. This member must be initialized before the structure is used.

dwHeaderSize

Size of the DIPROPHEADER structure.

dwObj

Object for which the property is to be accessed. The value set for this member depends on the value specified in the dwHow member.

dwHow

Value specifying how the dwObj member should be interpreted. This value can be one of the following:

Value	Meaning
DIPH_DEVICE	The dwObj member must be zero.
DIPH_BYOFFSET	The dwObj member is the offset into the current data format of the object whose property is being accessed.
DIPH_BYID	The dwObj member is the object type/instance identifier. This identifier is returned in the dwType member of the DIDEVICEOBJECTINSTANCE structure returned from a previous call to the IDirectInputDevice::EnumObjects member.
