lpdijoy->SetDataFormat(&c_dfDIJoystick)

Trying to link this line of code produces this error:
[Linker Error] Unresolved external '_c_dfDIJoystick' referenced
from D:\MY DOCUMENTS\PROGRAMMING\MY EXAMPLES\JOYSTICK\MAIN.OBJ.

Linked LIB files are ddraw.lib, dinput.lib, dinput8.lib.

I have searched everywhere on the internet about this and
the only conclusion I can come to is that Borland Builder is
simply not compatible with DirectX (due to Microsoft I'm sure).

I am looking for a way to read a joystick using DirectX. If
anyone has overcome this problem, let me know. I am not
interested in components (unless it is free and comes with 
source). I want to learn how to do it myself.

Thanks,
teroni
