CONST_DIDFTFLAGS

Members of the CONST_DIDFTFLAGS enumeration are used in the flags parameter of the DirectInputDevice.GetDeviceObjectsEnum method to specify the type of device object to enumerate. These values are also returned by the DirectInputDeviceObjectInstance.GetFlags method to describe capabilities of the device object.

DIDFT_ABSAXIS

An absolute axis.

DIDFT_ALL

All objects.

DIDFT_ANYINSTANCE

Any instance of an object.

DIDFT_AXIS

An axis, either absolute or relative.

DIDFT_BUTTON

A push button or a toggle button.

DIDFT_COLLECTION

A HID link collection. HID link collections do not generate data of their own.

DIDFT_FFACTUATOR

An object that contains a force-feedback actuator. In other words, forces can be applied to this object.

DIDFT_FFEFFECTTRIGGER

An object that can be used to trigger force-feedback effects.

DIDFT_INSTANCEMASK

Same as DIDFT_ANYINSTANCE.

DIDFT_NOCOLLECTION

An object that does not belong to any HID link collection; in other words, an object for which DirectInputDeviceObjectInstance.GetCollectionNumber returns 0.

DIDFT_NODATA

An object that does not generate data.

DIDFT_POV

A point-of-view controller.

DIDFT_PSHBUTTON

A push button. A push button is reported as down when the user presses it and as up when the user releases it.

DIDFT_RELAXIS

A relative axis.

DIDFT_TGLBUTTON

A toggle button. A toggle button is reported as down when the user presses it and remains so until the user presses the button a second time.
