CONST_DIDEVICETYPE

Members of the CONST_DIDEVICETYPE enumeration are used to identify the input device type and subtype. A packed value representing the type and subtype is returned by the DirectInputDeviceInstance.GetDevType method and in the lDevType member of the DIDEVCAPS type returned by DirectInputDevice.GetCapabilities. A value representing a primary type is passed as the deviceType parameter to the DirectInput.GetDIEnumDevices method.

For a table of members listed by type and subtype, see DirectInputDeviceInstance.GetDevType.
