Thread: directinput question, error message

When linking this .lib file I am getting this error message returned:

Code:

Generating Code...
Linking...
C:\ASE\Navigator\dinput8.lib : fatal error LNK1113: invalid machine type
Error executing link.exe.

I ran a search for the file and I know it exists in this particular location, because I copied it there. It also exists in other locations after running an sdk install from MS. I should mention I am using Visual studio 6.0 C++. Quite old, try to keep up with updates.

Below is the code I am attempting to use to intialize and run directinput. I am a rookie!

Code:

#define DIRECTINPUT_VERSION 0x0800
#include "dinput.h"

Thanks for any help or just for looking....

Ok giving up on directinput... Just wanted to get keyboard input for arrow keys.... ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG....

however, I found a new drug.... Now I am just trying to use message handling to grab the WM_KEYDOWN msg and then process the virtual key pushed.... However, it appears by default my dialog program uses the arrow key as navigation to buttons, can anyone understand how I might disable this on initiation of the dialog???

below is my function called when you pushe specific movestate button to try and capture arrow keys from the user:

Code:

void CNavigatorDlg::OnMoveStateOn() 
{
	moveState = 1;
	UINT uMsg; 
	WPARAM wParam;

	//set case to record arrow key move instructions
	switch (uMsg)
	{
		case WM_CHAR:
		if (WM_KEYDOWN)
		{
				switch (wParam) 
				{ 
					case VK_LEFT: 
                    
						// Process the LEFT ARROW key. 
						m_Direction = "Left";
						UpdateData (false);                   
						break; 
 
					case VK_RIGHT: 
                    
						// Process the RIGHT ARROW key. 
						m_Direction = "Right";
						UpdateData (false);
						break; 
 
					case VK_UP: 
                    
						// Process the UP ARROW key. 
                     
						break; 
 
					case VK_DOWN: 
                    
						// Process the DOWN ARROW key. 
                     
						break; 
				}
		}
	}

	
	//set color indicator of move status
	m_MoveState.SetColor(RGB(0,255,0));
}

I apologize, in haste I put this in the wrong message location, should be in Windows programing, sorry for any confusion, but I appreciate any assistance....
