Joypad Object (possible) bug

[LazyCoder]

I have 2 different game pad things, one that looks like a PS2 controller, and one of those Microsoft Sidewinder joysticks.

I have 4 USB ports, but I only have 2 free ones right now. I made a small app where active objects will 'light up' when the joypad object's corresponding joypad was 'inplugged'.

When I plug my controller into slot 2, the second one lights up, when I plug it into slot 1, nothing happens. When I plug the joystick into slot 1, the first one lights up, when I plug it into slot 2, nothing happens. It's as if they don't like being in each other's USB port, and refuse to work unless they get their special spot. I'm a bit confused about that.

Is it my joypad object you're talking about?

It sounds like it, from the term 'inplugged' (that's one of the most fantastic terms I've ever seen )

Does Windows recognize them as being present when they're in the 'wrong' ports?

Yup, that's the one.

It makes the Bu dU noise.

The problem is that I've only got one joypad so I can't test it. But I can look at the code and see if I notice any problems.

Could you send the test application?

Here's what I do, I plug in my gamepad into slot 1, then start the app, it says it is 'inplugged' into #2, no matter what USB port it is in. Then I un plug it and put it into slot 2, doesn't show up. Then I close the app, and start it up again, it shows it being there, in #2, even though it is in a different USB port. So then I plug in my Joystick as well, it doesn't show up. I close it, then start it up again, it shows both are 'inplugged', but if I swap the ports they're plugged into, neither one shows up. But again, if I restart the app, they show up.
