Xbox Dll Call

SkellySoul · August 12, 2011

Hello :mellow:

I just bought a Xbox Controller for the PC and been playing around with it and have just about everything functional except I don't know how to call this Dll to get the battery life.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.directx_sdk.reference.xinputgetbatteryinformation

Also is it possible to make the Xbox Guide button functional and may be any code to mess with the lights

Thanks

what dll?

EDIT: Are you talking about autoIt? because as far i can see there is no DLL only a C++ Library, but my knowldege is few maybe someone else can point you to the right direction.

more EDIT: Usually MSDN put you as requirements the DLL you need, when this is not there it means that there`s no dll at all.

more and more EDIT: ...the mouse ate your tonge? jijiji

and more of that EDIT: ...i don`t know to much but maybe AutoItObject can help you with this quest.

xinput9_1_0.dll

i didn`t find it, please point me to the documentation of that dll, because MSDN doesn`t say anything about that...

Only guessing, thrusting in that the dll might work this way. and also thrusting that you know what means every parameter of this function.

DllCall("xinput9_1_0.dll","dword","XInputGetBatteryInformation","dword",$UserIndex,"byte",$devType,"ptr",DllStructGetPtr($tXINPUT_BATTERY_INFORMATION))

Mainly something like this.

After that

$BatteryType = DllStructGetData($tXINPUT_BATTERY_INFORMATION,1)
$BatteryLevel = DllStructGetData($tXINPUT_BATTERY_INFORMATION,2)

Hi, have you actually tried calling any of the Xinput functions?

I've been calling xinput1_3.dll and the XInputGetBatteryInformation works for me in xp x86, not tried it in win 7 yet.

It's a pretty straight forward api call.

I'm usually wrong with dll witchcraft but imagine it would look something like this.

$type = "?" ; Dont know where you get this from, I assume you do.
$Index = "?" ; same

$OutStruct = DllStructCreate("byte;byte")
$dwUserIndex = DllStructCreate("dword dwUserIndex")
$devType = DllStructCreate("byte[" & BinaryLen($type) & "] devType")

DllStructSetData($dwUserIndex,"dwUserIndex",$type)
DllStructSetData($devType,"devType",$Index)

$pointer = DllStructGetPtr($OutStruct)

$sDll = "Some.dll")

$Rtn = DllCall($sDll,"dword","XInputGetBatteryInformation","dword",$dwUserIndex,"byte",$devType,"ptr",$pointer)

These are the constants I'm using

;// User index definitions
Global Const $XUSER_MAX_COUNT           =      4 ; Can be a value in the range 0 to XUSER_MAX_COUNT − 1

;// Device types available in XINPUT_CAPABILITIES
Global Const $XINPUT_DEVTYPE_GAMEPAD    =      0x01

Global Const $tag_XINPUT_BATTERY_INFORMATION = "BYTE BatteryType;BYTE BatteryLevel"

;// Flags for battery status level
;// Battery Type
Global Const $BATTERY_TYPE_DISCONNECTED =      0x00    ;// This device is not connected
Global Const $BATTERY_TYPE_WIRED        =      0x01    ;// Wired device, no battery
Global Const $BATTERY_TYPE_ALKALINE     =      0x02    ;// Alkaline battery source
Global Const $BATTERY_TYPE_NIMH         =      0x03    ;// Nickel Metal Hydride battery source
Global Const $BATTERY_TYPE_UNKNOWN      =      0xFF    ;// Cannot determine the battery type

;// These are only valid for wireless, connected devices, with known battery types
;// The amount of use time remaining depends on the type of device.
;// Battery Level
Global Const $BATTERY_LEVEL_EMPTY       =      0x00
Global Const $BATTERY_LEVEL_LOW         =      0x01
Global Const $BATTERY_LEVEL_MEDIUM      =      0x02
Global Const $BATTERY_LEVEL_FULL        =      0x03

Basically a copy and paste from XInput.h from DX SDK Aug 09

"ubyte"

Is that a valid type in autoit?

SkellySoul · August 12, 2011

"ubyte"
Is that a valid type in autoit?

24th August, 2007 - v3.2.6.0

Added: byte and ubyte type to DllCall().
