When i switch from my opengl app to another one (just with ALT-TAB), when i get back i lose joystick input. I''m using directx7.0, calling the following functions in the Winmain() g_pJoystick->Poll(); HRESULT hr2 = g_pJoystick->GetDeviceState(sizeof(DIJOYSTATE), &js );

not entirely sure coz i only read up on DirectInput yesterday... but it may have something to do with th acquire/unaquire functions. when an application loses focus, the input would be unacquired (though whether this is automatic, i have yet to figure out). if that happens, u need to reacquire it. check the docs that came with the directx sdk. shud be there somewhere.

Afaik it is something like Restore() or Reaquire() or so...
