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 latest 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 glutForceJoystickFunc.  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 support for Win32 has all the limitations of the  Win32  Multimedia  API  joystick
       support.  A future implementation of GLUT for Win32 may use DirectInput.
