Multiple apps with multiple joysticks

[schao416]

Hello all,

I have a 3rd party Windows app using an USB joystick running. If I
develop a C# app that uses a 2nd USB joystick, can both of those apps
running side by side receiving inputs from their respective joysticks
even though only one of those app has the focus?

Thanks,
Shane

You can capture joysticks independently.

MS just did something on C9 about new multiple input api (multiple keyboard,
mice, joy, etc)
