I'm using a three key foot pedal for my application and want to capture key press events from the device. I couldn't find a way to do it. The device is working fine with other installed applications.

Is DirectX is the only way or there are other options.

I've searched a lot for the code samples but couldn't find proper solution. It would be helpful if I could get some assistance.

Code samples would really boost the cause.

Thanks & regards.

Solution 1

Get the SDK from the manufacturer of the foot pedal. Some of the manufacturers even provide C# samples.
If you cannot get it, you have to look into the device manager: in case of an HID device, you might be able to use it with an HID library.
