JoySetCapture DLLCall?

[evilC]

Hi, I stumbled across the existence of this Windows API call today. I tried to get it to work, but had no joy.

Not exactly sure what it does - I was hoping it could be used to "mask" input from a joystick to anything but the AHK script.

Here is my code:

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance, force
DetectHiddenWindows, on

JoyID := 0

ThisScriptsHWND := WinExist("Ahk_PID " DllCall("GetCurrentProcessId"))

f11::
	ret := DllCall("joySetCapture", "ptr", ThisScriptsHWND, "uint", JoyID , "uint", 10)
	msgbox % 0 + ret
	Return

f12::
	DllCall("joyReleaseCapture", "UINT", JoyID )
	Return

Any ideas?

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance, force
JoyID := 0
fChanged := 0
return

f11::
   ret := DllCall("Winmm\joySetCapture" ; Winmm
						, "ptr", A_ScriptHwnd
						, "uint", JoyID
						, "uint", 10
						, "UInt", fChanged ; this param was missing
						, "UInt") ; returns UInt vs Int
   msgbox % ret " " errorlevel	; 6 0 ; - no joystick driver
   Return

HTH

Thanks for that, I had tried passing extra params, but I guess I had messed something up.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to do what i hoped it might, which was to hide the stick's input from other applications.

Cheers anyway
