   #pragma once

#include <Windows.h>
#include "DirectXTK-master\Inc\Keyboard.h"
#include "DirectXTK-master\Inc\Mouse.h"

class InputHandler
{
public:
    InputHandler();

    InputHandler(HWND wndHandle);
    ~InputHandler();

    void updateInput();

private:
    std::unique_ptr<DirectX::Keyboard> keyboard;
    std::unique_ptr<DirectX::Mouse> mouse;

};

cpp

#include "InputHandler.h"



InputHandler::InputHandler()
{
}


InputHandler::InputHandler(HWND wndHandle)
{
    keyboard = std::make_unique<DirectX::Keyboard>();
    mouse = std::make_unique<DirectX::Mouse>();
    mouse->SetWindow(wndHandle);
}

InputHandler::~InputHandler()
{
}

void InputHandler::updateInput()
{
    auto kb = keyboard->GetState();
    if (kb.Escape)
        PostQuitMessage(0);

    auto mouseState = mouse->GetState();
}
Solution

  • You still need to link to the DirectX Tool Kit static library. The tutorials assume you are making use of the NuGet package or have added a Reference to the DirectXTK project per the Adding the DirectX Tool Kit tutorial step which would add the static library to your project build.
