So I have been working on a racing game, so I would like to add steering wheel support. I'm using UWP(here is the page). I have added the code to appxmanifest like Microsoft says you should do, but I still get error messages. Here is the code:
Input.cpp
#include "pch.h"
#include "Input.h"
#include <vector>
#include <Windows.h>
#include <windows.gaming.input.h>
#include <windows.gaming.input.custom.h>
#include <windows.gaming.input.forcefeedback.h>
Input::Input()
{
}
bool Input::Detect()
{
Windows::Gaming::Input::RacingWheel RacingWheel;
auto Wheels = ref new Vector<RacingWheel^>();
for (auto racingwheel : RacingWheel::RacingWheels)
{
Wheels->Append(racingwheel);
}
};
Input.h
#pragma once
#include <windows.gaming.input.h>
#include <windows.gaming.input.custom.h>
#include <windows.gaming.input.forcefeedback.h>
ref class Input sealed
{
public:
Input();
bool Detect();
private:
void Acquire();
};
The errors are as follows:
RacingWheel::RacingWheels
-Name followed by :: must be a class or namespace
Vector<RacingWheel^>
-expected type identifier
-expected an expression
I'm new to C++ so any help is appreciated.
You are mixing C++/Cx and regular C++. If you are writing in C++ you can not use ref and ^ syntax and should use regular COM instead, if you are writing in C++/Cx you don't need to include UWP headers such as #include <windows.gaming.input.h> but need to compile as C++/Cx by creating appropriate kind of VS project.
Also you need to make sure that you are targeting Windows 10 Anniversary Edition (10.0.14393) so Wheel is awailable.
