As input devices, we use a keyboard and a mouse almost exclusively. I want to know more about different input devices and how to use them, and how to program with VB 6 using different input devices. Do you know a good way to start? Where should I start? Any good tutorial books, or websites you know of?

I would have thought the programmers at MS would be told to write apps using basic guidelines so that all stuff in Windows would have the same feel/look etc. Some progs have seperate .Manifest files (to support Visual Styles) where others have a built in resource file ( or similar) instead. Some apps look different too.
