glutForceJoystickFunc(3GLUT)                        GLUT                        glutForceJoystickFunc(3GLUT)



NAME
       glutForceJoystickFunc - forces current window's joystick callback to be called.

SYNTAX
       void glutForceJoystickFunc(void);

DESCRIPTION
       glutForceJoystickFunc  forces the current window's joystick callback to be called, reporting the lat-est latest
       est joystick state.

       The joystick callback is called either due to polling of the joystick at the uniform  timer  interval
       set  by  glutJoystickFunc's  pollInterval (specified in milliseconds) or in response to calling glut-ForceJoystickFunc. glutForceJoystickFunc.
       ForceJoystickFunc.  If the pollInterval is non-positive, no joystick polling  is  performed  and  the
       GLUT application must frequently (usually from an idle callback) call glutForceJoystickFunc.

       The  joystick  callback  will  be  called once (if one exists) for each time glutForceJoystickFunc is
       called.  The callback is called from glutJoystickFunc.  That is, when glutJoystickFunc  returns,  the
       callback will have already happened.

GLUT IMPLEMENTATION NOTES FOR X11
       The GLUT 3.7 implementation of GLUT for X11 supports the joystick API, but not actual joystick input.
       A future implementation of GLUT for X11 may add joystick support.

GLUT IMPLEMENTATION NOTES FOR WIN32
       The GLUT 3.7 implementation of GLUT for Win32 supports the joystick API and joystick input, but  does
       so  through the dated joySetCapture and joyGetPosEx Win32 Multimedia API.  The GLUT 3.7 joystick sup-port support
       port for Win32 has all the limitations of the Win32 Multimedia API joystick support.  A future imple-mentation implementation
       mentation of GLUT for Win32 may use DirectInput.
