Hi Jim, Just for your info accessing both sticks on a gamepad is actually quite simple with DirectInput. The joystates are lX and lY for the left stick and rX and RY for the right stick. My memory of the correct VB code is a bit fuzzy but it should look something like this.
' declare variables to get the x/y axis of both sticks Dim x1 As Long Dim x2 As Long Dim y1 As Long Dim y2 As Long ' Get the state of the left stick x1 = joystate.lX y1 = joystate.lY ' Get the state of the right stick x2 = joystate.rX y2 = joystate.rY I hope that helps. Its been ages since I messed around with VB 6, but that's basically how it works. Same basic code as the left stick but instead of the lX and lY states you use the rX and RY states of the joystate object you initialized in your joystick initialization. Cheers!
