Return Values Enumerated Type


The list below contains the HRESULT values that can be returned by Microsoft?DirectInput?methods and functions. Errors are represented by negative values and cannot be combined.

For a list of the error values each method or function can return, see the individual descriptions. Lists of error codes in the documentation are necessarily incomplete. For example, any DirectInput method can return DIERR_OUTOFMEMORY even though the error code is not explicitly listed as a possible return value in the documentation for that method.

Constants

DI_BUFFEROVERFLOW

The device buffer overflowed and some input was lost. This value is equal to the S_FALSE standard COM return value.

DI_DOWNLOADSKIPPED

The parameters of the effect were successfully updated, but the effect could not be downloaded because the associated device was not acquired in exclusive mode.

DI_EFFECTRESTARTED

The effect was stopped, the parameters were updated, and the effect was restarted.

DI_NOEFFECT

The operation had no effect. This value is equal to the S_FALSE standard Component Object Model (COM) return value.

DI_NOTATTACHED

The device exists but is not currently attached. This value is equal to the S_FALSE standard COM return value.

DI_OK

The operation completed successfully. This value is equal to the S_OK standard COM return value.

DI_POLLEDDEVICE

The device is a polled device. As a result, device buffering does not collect any data and event notifications is not signaled until the IDirectInputDevice8::Poll method is called.

DI_PROPNOEFFECT

The change in device properties had no effect. This value is equal to the S_FALSE standard COM return value.

DI_SETTINGSNOTSAVED

The action map was applied to the device, but the settings could not be saved.

DI_TRUNCATED

The parameters of the effect were successfully updated, but some of them were beyond the capabilities of the device and were truncated to the nearest supported value.

DI_TRUNCATEDANDRESTARTED

Equal to DI_EFFECTRESTARTED | DI_TRUNCATED.

DI_WRITEPROTECT

A SUCCESS code indicating that settings cannot be modified.

DIERR_ACQUIRED

The operation cannot be performed while the device is acquired.

DIERR_ALREADYINITIALIZED

This object is already initialized

DIERR_BADDRIVERVER

The object could not be created due to an incompatible driver version or mismatched or incomplete driver components.

DIERR_BETADIRECTINPUTVERSION

The application was written for an unsupported prerelease version of DirectInput.

DIERR_DEVICEFULL

The device is full.

DIERR_DEVICENOTREG

The device or device instance is not registered with DirectInput. This value is equal to the REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG standard COM return value.

DIERR_EFFECTPLAYING

The parameters were updated in memory but were not downloaded to the device because the device does not support updating an effect while it is still playing.

DIERR_GENERIC

An undetermined error occurred inside the DirectInput subsystem. This value is equal to the E_FAIL standard COM return value.

DIERR_HANDLEEXISTS

The device already has an event notification associated with it. This value is equal to the E_ACCESSDENIED standard COM return value.

DIERR_HASEFFECTS

The device cannot be reinitialized because effects are attached to it.

DIERR_INCOMPLETEEFFECT

The effect could not be downloaded because essential information is missing. For example, no axes have been associated with the effect, or no type-specific information has been supplied.

DIERR_INPUTLOST

Access to the input device has been lost. It must be reacquired.

DIERR_INVALIDPARAM

An invalid parameter was passed to the returning function, or the object was not in a state that permitted the function to be called. This value is equal to the E_INVALIDARG standard COM return value.

DIERR_MAPFILEFAIL

An error has occurred either reading the vendor-supplied action-mapping file for the device or reading or writing the user configuration mapping file for the device.

DIERR_MOREDATA

Not all the requested information fit into the buffer.

DIERR_NOAGGREGATION

This object does not support aggregation.

DIERR_NOINTERFACE

The object does not support the specified interface. This value is equal to the E_NOINTERFACE standard COM return value.

DIERR_NOTACQUIRED

The operation cannot be performed unless the device is acquired.

DIERR_NOTBUFFERED

The device is not buffered. Set the DIPROP_BUFFERSIZE property to enable buffering.

DIERR_NOTDOWNLOADED

The effect is not downloaded.

DIERR_NOTEXCLUSIVEACQUIRED

The operation cannot be performed unless the device is acquired in DISCL_EXCLUSIVE mode.

DIERR_NOTFOUND

The requested object does not exist.

DIERR_NOTINITIALIZED

This object has not been initialized.

DIERR_OBJECTNOTFOUND

The requested object does not exist.

DIERR_OLDDIRECTINPUTVERSION

The application requires a newer version of DirectInput.

DIERR_OTHERAPPHASPRIO

Another application has a higher priority level, preventing this call from succeeding. This value is equal to the E_ACCESSDENIED standard DirectInput return value. This error can be returned when an application has only foreground access to a device but is attempting to acquire the device while in the background.

DIERR_OUTOFMEMORY

The DirectInput subsystem could not allocate sufficient memory to complete the call. This value is equal to the E_OUTOFMEMORY standard COM return value.

DIERR_READONLY

The specified property cannot be changed. This value is equal to the E_ACCESSDENIED standard COM return value.

DIERR_REPORTFULL

More information was requested to be sent than can be sent to the device.

DIERR_UNPLUGGED

The operation could not be completed because the device is not plugged in.

DIERR_UNSUPPORTED

The function called is not supported at this time. This value is equal to the E_NOTIMPL standard COM return value.

E_HANDLE

The HWND parameter is not a valid top-level window that belongs to the process.

E_PENDING

Data is not yet available.

E_POINTER

An invalid pointer, usually NULL, was passed as a parameter.
