Set up the Timer Message Map and Methods
Step 1: Create a Message Map for the WM_TIMER event for the CDirectInput1View class
void CDirectInput1View::OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent)
{
/*
The Timer event looks to determine if the user wants to poll
keyboard events in immediate or buffer mode.
*/
UpdateData(TRUE);
BOOL bImmediate = ( m_immediate_control.GetCheck() == BST_CHECKED );
if( bImmediate )
{
if( FAILED( ReadImmediateData( AfxGetMainWnd()->m_hWnd ) ) )
{
KillTimer( 0 );
MessageBox( _T("Error reading input state. ")
_T("The
sample will now exit."),
_T("Keyboard"),
MB_ICONERROR | MB_OK );
EndDialog( m_hWnd, TRUE );
}
}
else
{
if( FAILED( ReadBufferedData( AfxGetMainWnd()->m_hWnd ) ) )
{
KillTimer( 0 );
MessageBox( _T("Error reading input state. ")
_T("The
sample will now exit."),
_T("Keyboard"),
MB_ICONERROR | MB_OK );
EndDialog( m_hWnd, TRUE );
}
}
CFormView::OnTimer(nIDEvent);
}
Step 2: Insert into directInput1View.h:
HRESULT ReadImmediateData( HWND hDlg );
HRESULT ReadBufferedData( HWND hDlg );
Step 3: Source Code Insert directInput1View.cpp
HRESULT CDirectInput1View::ReadImmediateData( HWND hDlg )
{
HRESULT hr;
TCHAR strNewText[256*5 + 1] = TEXT("");
TCHAR strElement[10];
BYTE diks[256]; // DirectInput keyboard state buffer
int i;
if( NULL == g_pKeyboard )
return S_OK;
// Get the input's device state, and put the state in dims
ZeroMemory( &diks, sizeof(diks) );
hr = g_pKeyboard->GetDeviceState( sizeof(diks), &diks );
if( FAILED(hr) )
{
// DirectInput may be telling us that the input stream
has been
// interrupted. We aren't tracking any state between polls, so

for( i = 0; i < 256; i++ )

//
// Either way, it means that continuous contact with the
// device has been lost, either due to an external
// interruption, or because the buffer overflowed
// and some events were lost.
//
// Consequently, if a button was pressed at the time
// the buffer overflowed or the connection was broken,
// the corresponding "up" message might have been lost.
//
// But since our simple sample doesn't actually have
// any state associated with button up or down events,
// there is no state to reset. (In a real game, ignoring
// the buffer overflow would result in the game thinking
// a key was held down when in fact it isn't; it's just
// that the "up" event got lost because the buffer
// overflowed.)
//
// If we want to be cleverer, we could do a
// GetDeviceState() and compare the current state
// against the state we think the device is in,
// and process all the states that are currently
// different from our private state.
