The STRIG(n) statement controls event trapping for a particular joystick or game pad device button.

Description
- button function specifies the device’s button function. Even functions record events while odd ones read the actual presses.
- QB64 can designate a button function and controller device number from 0 to 256.
- When no parameters are used QB64 enables, disables or suspends the reading of ALL button events.
- STRIG(n) specifies that event trapping is turned on for the specified button.
- STRIG(n) specifies that event trapping is turned off for the specified button.
- If STOP is specified, event trapping is suspended for the specified button. Further joystick button events are remembered and trapped, in order, after the next STRIG(n) ON statement is used.
