How to get value/parameter for Input Event in unmanaged code?

Thank you for your reply - this is now working.

But if you have some examples about an InputEvent defined in an xml file which have some parameters but the API doesn’t return anything, we would love to have it because that means something doesn’t work as expected.

In the King Air, enumerating parameters for FUEL_1_Condition_Lever returns a parameter of FLOAT64, whereas FUEL_2_Condition_Lever returns no parameters:

18579 InputEvent parameter received for 'FUEL_1_Condition_Lever': ';FLOAT64'
18594 InputEvent parameter received for 'FUEL_2_Condition_Lever': ''

However, both except a parameter (2 for cut-off, 1 for low-idle, 0 for high idle). Both work sending the parameter, but one shows no parameter needed.

37204 Executing InputEvent 'FUEL_1_Condition_Lever' [52] with parameter 2.000000
37219 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 67280 (0x000106d0), Param= 0 (0x00000000) SET_FUEL_VALVE_ENG1
37219 InputEvent received: 'FUEL_1_Condition_Lever', Value=2.000000 (param=';FLOAT64')
37329 Executing InputEvent 'FUEL_2_Condition_Lever' [53] with parameter 2.000000
37344 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 67281 (0x000106d1), Param= 0 (0x00000000) SET_FUEL_VALVE_ENG2
37344 InputEvent received: 'FUEL_2_Condition_Lever', Value=2.000000 (param='')

Similarly, ENGINE_Propeller_1 and ENGINE_Propeller_2 show no parameters:

18219 InputEvent parameter received for 'ENGINE_Propeller_1': ''
18219 InputEvent parameter received for 'ENGINE_Propeller_2': ''

But both log values between 0.0 and 100.0:

1113907 InputEvent received: ‘ENGINE_Propeller_2’, Value=20.000000 (param=‘’)
1113938 InputEvent received: ‘ENGINE_Propeller_2’, Value=20.000000 (param=‘’)
1115297 InputEvent received: ‘ENGINE_Propeller_1’, Value=19.956055 (param=‘’)
1115328 InputEvent received: ‘ENGINE_Propeller_1’, Value=20.351562 (param=‘’)
1115360 InputEvent received: ‘ENGINE_Propeller_1’, Value=20.751953 (param=‘’)
1115391 InputEvent received: ‘ENGINE_Propeller_1’, Value=22.006836 (param=‘’)
1115422 InputEvent received: ‘ENGINE_Propeller_1’, Value=23.789062 (param=‘’)
1115469 InputEvent received: ‘ENGINE_Propeller_1’, Value=25.107422 (param=‘’)
1115500 InputEvent received: ‘ENGINE_Propeller_1’, Value=26.489258 (param=‘’)
1115532 InputEvent received: ‘ENGINE_Propeller_1’, Value=27.348633 (param=‘’)
1115563 InputEvent received: ‘ENGINE_Propeller_1’, Value=27.807617 (param=‘’)
1115625 InputEvent received: ‘ENGINE_Propeller_1’, Value=28.266602 (param=‘’)
1115688 InputEvent received: ‘ENGINE_Propeller_1’, Value=28.569336 (param=‘’)

I have come across many such Input Events in various aircraft. Note that this has also been reported in the following topic: Input Event Parameters/EnumerateInputEventParams() boken/unexplained (was: What are Input Event Parameters?)

Thanks for your assistance,
