# RawInput.Sharp

A simple wrapper library for Windows [Raw Input](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/inputdev/raw-input).

Available on .NET Standard 1.1 and .NET Framework 4.6.1.

## NuGet

https://www.nuget.org/packages/RawInput.Sharp/

## Usage

### Acquiring connected devices

```cs

// using Linearstar.Windows.RawInput;

// Get the devices that can be handled with Raw Input.

var devices = RawInputDevice.GetDevices();

// Keyboards will be returned as RawInputKeyboard.

var keyboards = devices.OfType();

// Mice will be RawInputMouse.

var mice = devices.OfType();

```

### Reading raw inputs

```cs

protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)

{

    const int WM_INPUT = 0x00FF;

    // You can read inputs by processing the WM_INPUT message.

    if (m.Msg == WM_INPUT)

    {

        // Create an RawInputData from the handle stored in lParam.

        var data = RawInputData.FromHandle(m.LParam);

        // You can identify the source device using Header.DeviceHandle or just Device.

        var sourceDeviceHandle = data.Header.DeviceHandle;

        var sourceDevice = data.Device;

        // The data will be an instance of either RawInputMouseData, RawInputKeyboardData, or RawInputHidData.

        // They contain the raw input data in their properties.

        switch (data)

        {

            case RawInputMouseData mouse:

                Console.WriteLine(mouse.Mouse);

                break;

            case RawInputKeyboardData keyboard:

                Console.WriteLine(keyboard.Keyboard);

                break;

            case RawInputHidData hid:

                Console.WriteLine(hid.Hid);

                break;

        }

    }

    base.WndProc(ref m);

}

```
