Direct Input Action Mapping

2006-01-18, 9:55 pm

I am learning Direct Input Action Mapping and have the following
questions:

1) What News Groups currently address Direct Input questions? And
specifically Action Mapping Questions?

2) Aside from Microsoft documentation, what are the best books,
articles, etc. to read to understand this topic?

3) Concerning "ANY" semantics:

* Is there a genre dedicated to "ANY" semantics only?
* I find that some devices map "ANY" semantics while others do
not. This limits the usefulness of the "ANY" definitions. e.g. I
have 2 gamepads installed on my machine: one successfully maps all
axes, hat switches and buttons using _ANY_ while the other maps no
controls.
