# SIMCONNECT_RECV_GET_INPUT_EVENT<no value>
The **SIMCONNECT\_RECV\_GET\_INPUT\_EVENT** structure is used to return the value of a specific input event.

 

##### Syntax

``` cpp
struct SIMCONNECT_RECV_GET_INPUT_EVENT : public SIMCONNECT_RECV
{
    DWORD   RequestID;
    SIMCONNECT_INPUT_EVENT_TYPE Type;
    PVOID   Value;
};
```

 

##### Members

{{< table-wrapper >}}

| Member      | Description                                                                                          |

| `RequestID` | Specifies the client defined request ID.                                                             |
| `Type`      | One member of the  enumeration type. This is used to cast the `Value` to the correct type.        |
| `Value`     | The value of the requested input event, which should be cast to the correct format (float / string). |

{{< /table-wrapper >}}


 

##### Remarks

 

This struct will be the response to a call to [`SimConnect_GetInputEvent`](../inputevents/simconnect-getinputevent/). The value stored in this struct must be cast on the client side in the correct format (as a float or a string, only).

{{< callout context="note" title="NOTE" icon="outline/bulb" >}}

In C\#, `Value` is an object array containing one uint value. This value must be converted to a byte array before being converted to the correct type.

{{< /callout >}}

If it is a string, it can have a maximum length of only 32 characters (including \\0). Note that if the unit is different to the expected in-simulation unit, it must be converted to the appropriate unit on the clients side.
