The IDirectInputEffect::Escape method sends a hardware-specific command to the driver.
HRESULT Escape(
LPDIEFFESCAPE pesc
);
If the method succeeds, the return value is DI_OK.
If the method fails, the return value may be one of the following error values:
DIERR_NOTINITIALIZED |
DIERR_DEVICEFULL |
Other device-specific error codes are also possible. Ask the hardware manufacturer for details.
Since each driver implements different escapes, it is the application's responsibility to ensure that it is sending the escape to the correct driver by comparing the value of the guidFFDriver member of the DIDEVICEINSTANCE structure against the value the application is expecting.
