Mouse - LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN????
Author
hello...I need a function or something to see if the mouse
goes left,right,up or down...
plz help...
If you are in C (in VB it would be too easy 
), you keep two variables which are the last position of your mouse.
Each time your mouse move, you check if the current x is lower than the last x, same with y and you know if it goes left, right up or down.
I won't explain anything about the events in C, because there are a lot of tutorials talking about them.

You should be able to do this your self. With DirectInput it gives you the MOVEMENT of the mouse not the absolute position. So if you move the mouse up on your mouse pad DInput will return a positive number of how much you moved up. If you move it down it will return a negative number in relation to how much you moved down. Take a look at the sdk or even the on-line documentation for DInput.
