DirectInput force feedback error

Question

Hi,

    I am working on joystick wheel force feedback DirectInput. I am using following code. But it gives error: "Value does not fall within the expected range."

Please help me to resolve the problem or suggest me any sdk force feedback.

  DeviceList xDeviceList = Manager.GetDevices(DeviceClass.GameControl, EnumDevicesFlags.AttachedOnly); 
            DeviceInstance someDeviceInstance; 
            foreach (DeviceInstance deviceInstance in xDeviceList) 
            { 
                someDeviceInstance = deviceInstance; 
                break; 
            } 

            Device someDevice = new Device(someDeviceInstance.InstanceGuid); 
            someDevice.SetCooperativeLevel(this.Handle, CooperativeLevelFlags.Exclusive | CooperativeLevelFlags.Background); 
            int[] axis = new int[0]; 
            foreach (DeviceObjectInstance doi in someDevice.Objects) 
            { 
                if((doi.Flags & (int)ObjectInstanceFlags.Actuator) != 0) 
                { 
                    axis = new int[axis.Length + 1]; 
                    axis[axis.Length - 1] = doi.Offset; 
                } 
            } 

            someDevice.Acquire(); 

            Effect effect = new Effect(); 
            effect.SetDirection(new int[axis.Length]); 
            effect.SetAxes(new int[axis.Length]); 
            effect.ConditionStruct = new Condition[axis.Length]; 

            effect.Flags = EffectFlags.Cartesian | EffectFlags.ObjectOffsets; 
            effect.Duration = int.MaxValue; 
            effect.SamplePeriod = 0; 
            effect.Gain = 10000; 
            effect.TriggerButton = (int)Microsoft.DirectX.DirectInput.Button.NoTrigger; 
            effect.TriggerRepeatInterval = 0; 
            effect.UsesEnvelope = false; 
            effect.EffectType = Microsoft.DirectX.DirectInput.EffectType.ConstantForce; 
            effect.StartDelay = 0; 
            effect.Constant = new Microsoft.DirectX.DirectInput.ConstantForce(); 
            effect.Constant.Magnitude = -5000; 
            EffectObject effectObject = null; 
            foreach (EffectInformation ei in someDevice.GetEffects(EffectType.ConstantForce)) 
            { 
                effectObject = new EffectObject(ei.EffectGuid, effect, someDevice); 
            } 

            effectObject.SetParameters(effect, EffectParameterFlags.Start );

Hi Zeal Baa,

This forum is used to discuss the question regarding publishing and certification process, I will move your thread so that it may appear in a more appropriate category.

Thanks for your understanding.
