I'm having trouble implementing DirectInput into a MFC project.
I coded a simple app without MFC, only using the Win API and it worked fine.
The app only registers a DirectInput mouse device and retrieves some
information from it.
Now I'm trying to implement the code into a mfc project. I included
"dinput.h" and all necessary libraries (dxguid.lib, dinput8.lib).
But the compiler does not recognize any DirectInput struct or constant.

Can anyone help?

THX,

It seems you included "dinput.h" incorrectly somehow. Try doing it in
the stdafx.h file.

No, it's a fucked up, retarded thing because it was designed for
people who only program on a single platform. It'snot worth a shit.

Trainable retards could have done better. <g>

Hey, you're welcome! I see that my answer didn't explain anything. Did
you by any chance put your #include before the #include "stdafx.h"??

If so, the lesson to learn is that everything before #include "stdafx.h"
is ignored by the compiler. The precompiled header feature is a
wonderful thing, but you have to know about this trap when you use it.
