How does an applicaton use direct input without calling GetDeviceData() or GetDeviceState(). Thoughout the entire existence of the program, here is all that it does after creating the device.

SetDataFormat
SetCooperativeLevel
SetProperty
Acquire
Unacquire

Yet, it uses the mouse quite well. I thought that you needed to call GetDeviceData() or GetDeviceState() to use a Direct Input mouse device to read data from it, and thus use the device.............I'm baffled
