Hello,

We are using COM Non-ATL version for connecting to 3Dconnexion driver and polling the data out.
The code is similar to that in "Cube3DPolling" example.
My question is : How to determine whether 3DConnxion driver is started or not ?
We want to tell user that he must start the driver in order for 3D mouse to work.

Thanks in advance,
Mark

Hi MarkF,

This shouldn't be necessary.

When you instantiate the "device" object, the user-mode driver (3DxWare) is automatically run.
