[−][src]Function rusty_xinput::dynamic_load_xinput
pub fn dynamic_load_xinput() -> Result<(), XInputLoadingFailure>
Attempts to dynamically load an XInput DLL and get the function pointers.
This operation is thread-safe and can be performed at any time. If xinput
hasn't been loaded yet, or if there was a failed load attempt, then
xinput_get_state and xinput_set_state will safety return an Err value
to that effect.
There's no way provided to unload XInput once it's been loaded, because that makes the normal operation a little faster. Why would you want to unload it anyway? Don't be silly.
Failure
This can fail in a few ways, as explained in the XInputLoadingFailure
type. The most likely failure case is that the user's system won't have the
required DLL, in which case you should probably allow them to play with just
a keyboard/mouse instead.
