Working on our shoot em up pc game I've struggled a bit with support for game pads.

The trickiest part was knowing if a pad had been inserted or removed while the game was running. I spent a good few hour looking for information so when I finally got it working I wrote a short tutorial, so if you plan on adding game pad support to your windows games you can get some info in my game development blog.

Detecting if a game pad is plugged in or removed

Feel free to use and abuse as you like. A comment or digg is appreciated

Cheers!
