User's Guide

Click Read File and load a supplied .ffe file from the Media folder or one of your own files. Then click Play Effects.

For each file effect enumerated, the EnumAndCreateEffectsCallback function initializes an IDirectInputEffect pointer and adds it to a linked list. The OnPlayEffects function traverses this list and plays all effects.
