I’m growing an accessibility software that permits customers to navigate Home windows utilizing a sport controller. The applying works utilizing the left joystick to maneuver the fitting mouse and joystick to carry out actions (for instance, above = click on, alt-click, and many others.). It’s executed within the background and makes use of a Gamepad hook to detect Home windows entries and API to activate the corresponding actions.
The issue that I discover is that, though the appliance efficiently performs the deliberate actions, it doesn’t block the right Joystick entries, which leads to each the appliance actions and within the native Gamepad conduct that happen concurrently. Primarily, the right entry of Joystick is being detected by my software and Home windows, inflicting conflicts.
I’m utilizing Sharpdx.xinput to acquire the state of Gamepad, as proven on this fragment:
if (controller.IsConnected) {
var state = controller.GetState();
// Get the joystick positions
var leftThumbX = state.Gamepad.LeftThumbX / 32767.0f; // Normalize to -1.0 to 1.0
var leftThumbY = state.Gamepad.LeftThumbY / 32767.0f;
}
Nonetheless, Sharpdx.xinput doesn’t appear to supply a solution to intercept or block the unfold of the doorway occasion. The target is that my software completely receives the entry of the right joystick, stopping Home windows or different processes from reacting to it.
After investigating, I seemed for some potential options akin to Hidhide and Vigembus, however these libraries require exterior amenities, which I wish to keep away from to facilitate use and keep the autonomous software for accessibility customers. I additionally explored the interception entrance at a decrease stage utilizing the Home windows API, nonetheless, it solely appears doable for the keyboard and mouse with pre -existing controllers.
Is there any solution to block or intercept the right Joystick inputs in order that solely my software is obtained, whereas sustaining the autonomous resolution (with out requiring libraries or exterior amenities)?
