DirectInput is an API for collecting input from the user, via input devices such the mouse, keyboard, joystick or game controllers. It also provides a system for action mapping, which allows you to assign specific actions within a game to the buttons and axis on your input devices. Additionally it handles force-feedback (input/output) devices. Microsoft introduced a new input library called XInput in DirectX 9 specifically for Xbox 360 controllers.

  • DirectInput is an API for collecting input from the user, via input devices such the mouse, keyboard, joystick or game controllers. It also provides a system for action mapping, which allows you to assign specific actions within a game to the buttons and axis on your input devices. Additionally it handles force-feedback (input/output) devices. Microsoft introduced a new input library called XInput in DirectX 9 specifically for Xbox 360 controllers. DirectInput and XInput have benefits over normal Win32 input events: They enable an application to retrieve data from input devices even when the application is in the background. They provide full support for any type of input device, as well as for force feedback. Through action mapping, applications can retrieve input data without needing to know what kind of device is being used to generate it. While DirectInput is a part of the DirectX library, it has not been significantly revised since DirectX 8. It should be noted that Microsoft recommends that new applications make use of the Windows message loop for keyboard and mouse input instead of DirectInput as indicated in the Meltdown 2005 slideshow., and to use XInput instead of DirectInput for Xbox 360 controllers.

  • Módulo perteneciente a DirectX utilizado para procesar datos del teclado, ratón, joystick y otros controles para juegos. DirectInput es una librería para procesar datos del teclado, ratón, joystick y otros controles para juegos. También provee un sistema de mapeo que permite especificar las acciones del juego que originarán los botones y los ejes de los dispositivos de entrada. DirectInput es una parte de la librería DirectX. Actualmente está archivado como obsoleto y simplemente se soporto por compatibilidad hacia atrás. Las nuevas aplicaciones usan XInput. (es)
