Looking for a library/API to use usb game controllers

Posted 09 May 2012 - 09:56 PM

I cant seem to find what im looking for here....

im using visual studio 2010. Ive searched around for this on google, but ive only found info about xinput (in c#) that allows the xbox 360 controller to be used, but i want any controller that the OS recognizes to be usable. Does anyone know of API that can accomplish this?

Are you saying you tried the XBox 360 code and it did not work?

XBox360 controller C++

You will need the direct X sdk for this

This really is your best choice otherwise you will have to learn how to deal with usb ports.

no, Im saying I dont want to be limited to the xbox 360 controller. I want any controller that the os recognizes to be usable with my program.

So, im basically looking for someone to tell me what library, .h, or API I should use to accomplish this.
