Controlling force feedback joystick with labview

Hello

 

For my senior design project, I need to be able to use force feedback function of the joystick(Microsoft sidewinder 2) to guide the user in doing targeting task. When the cursor moves out of the box, the controller need to move to opposite direction to bring back the cursor inside the box.

 

Based on my research, I found out that I need to create DLL in C/C++/C# to control the joystick's driver in directx. My professor told me that I might not have to go through coding in C/C++, and that I might be able to do it through Labview. I was wondering if it is possible to control the force feedback with just LabVIEW.

 

I found an example of force feedback coding in C# http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb153254%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

 

Let me know if you know any other methods.
