hello all, I have browsed the web for tutorial to help me add joystick funktions to an application but no luck :(
The program will controle one or more serial relayboards.. well it can already do that but, only by pressing a button and i want the relays to be controled by the joystick.
something like..
Define Xaxis - 0 to 255
If JoyAxis X is >150 then relay1
If JoyAxis X is <100 then relay2
and so on...
Later on I want the joystick to control direction and speed of a DC motor/Analog output on the relay board
Im useing a Logitech USB game pad
Any help will be much appriciated

No thats not it.. its a viritual joystick controled by the mouse.
I have been googleing all day now.. the closest i got to it is a small sample in DirectX SDK 2009 (See attatchment)
This is what i want in my program and then depending on the values it control funktions in my program witch today is controled by bottons.
The source code for the program are also in DirectX SDK 2009 but I can´t open it in Visual Basic 2008 Express !
