User's Guide

Click Read File and open an existing Force Feedback Effects (FFE) file. If it was successfully read, click Play Effects to play the effects on the force-feedback device. FFE files can be authored using the Force Feedback Editor utility packaged with the Microsoft DirectX® software development kit (SDK).

Programming Notes

For each file effect enumerated, the EnumAndCreateEffectsCallback function initializes an IDirectInputEffect pointer and adds it to a linked list. The OnPlayEffects function traverses this list and plays all effects.
