Forums Scripts & Popups How would I reference Joysticks?

Hey all - I'm an advanced scripter, and mIRC happens to be my scripting language of choice. I've made damn near anything with it; now, I'm working on a script to allow me to use a joypad to essentially control my computer; I'm setting up a media center, per-se. How would I reference input by joystick? I've checked for a COM Object that would allow me to, but unfortunately I'm not having much luck locating one. Any ideas?

mIRC doesn't have direct IO port access. You may be able to find some COM object (as you suggested) or there may be a DLL which can do it for you.

As a side note, you may have trouble getting XP to let you access IO ports (like you could in 9x and previous). There are DLLs which may let you get around this, though I don't think they would be directly compatible with mIRC.
