There doesn't seem to be any information on this in the Win32.hlp file, but there
is a handy-dandy set of joystick APIs provided by Windows. There's some information
on the subject here: http://www.vbapi.com/ref/funca.html#j

Bear with me. I'm new to PB/DLL. I previously used PB3.5 for DOS.
I have a program for the DOS compiler that uses the joystick port
to synchronize serial port events with another external event. I
would like to be able to do the same with PB/DLL. I would like to
for two reasons. One, I would like to use a GUI interface and two,
I have a Comtrol Rocketport card that I can access through a fossil
driver in DOS, but if I use a DOS shell under windows they are not
accessable. Well, I now have the GUI interface and the control of
the Rocketports. I just don't know of a way to access the joystick
port. Any suggestions?
