# IGameInputDevice::GetFeatureReportCount

> Gets the number of raw feature reports that the device defines.

Gets the number of raw feature reports that the device defines.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
uint32_t GetFeatureReportCount();
```

### Parameters

This method has no parameters.

### Return value

Type: uint32\_t

The number of feature reports that the device defines, or 0 if the device has no feature reports or doesn't expose raw reports.

## Remarks

Feature reports are raw reports that carry device configuration or status data and that an application reads or writes on demand. Read a feature report by calling [GetRawDeviceFeature](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/input/gameinput/interfaces/igameinputdevice/methods/igameinputdevice_getrawdevicefeature.md). To write one, create a report by calling [CreateRawDeviceReport](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/input/gameinput/interfaces/igameinputdevice/methods/igameinputdevice_createrawdevicereport.md) with the report ID and `GameInputRawFeatureReport`, fill it with [IGameInputRawDeviceReport::SetRawData](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/input/gameinput/interfaces/igameinputrawdevicereport/methods/igameinputrawdevicereport_setrawdata.md), and pass it to [SetRawDeviceFeature](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/input/gameinput/interfaces/igameinputdevice/methods/igameinputdevice_setrawdevicefeature.md). Feature reports are currently exposed for HID devices.

Use the returned value to size the array that you pass to [GetFeatureReportInfo](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/input/gameinput/interfaces/igameinputdevice/methods/igameinputdevice_getfeaturereportinfo.md). The number of feature reports doesn't change while the device is connected.
