DESCRIPTION

You pass in a pointer to an array of references to the devices to be deactivated in the inDevicesToActivate parameter and pass in the number of references in the array in the inDeviceCount parameter. The ISpDevices_Deactivate function deactivates the devices. When a device is deactivated, InputSprocket no longer receives events from it.
