# IGameInputDevice::GetInputReportCount

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

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

## Syntax

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

### Parameters

This method has no parameters.

### Return value

Type: uint32\_t

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

## Remarks

Input reports are the raw reports that a device sends to the system. When the value returned by [GetSupportedInput](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/input/gameinput/interfaces/igameinputdevice/methods/igameinputdevice_getsupportedinput.md) includes `GameInputKindRawDeviceReport`, readings from the device carry the raw input report, which you can retrieve by calling [IGameInputReading::GetRawReport](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/input/gameinput/interfaces/igameinputreading/methods/igameinputreading_getrawreport.md).

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

In GameInput v3 and earlier, this information was available from the `inputReportCount` member of the [GameInputDeviceInfo](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/input/gameinput/deprecated/structs/gameinputdeviceinfo.md) structure returned by [IGameInputDevice::GetDeviceInfo](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/input/gameinput/deprecated/interfaces/igameinputdevice/methods/igameinputdevice_getdeviceinfo.md).

## Requirements

**Header:** GameInput.h

**Library:** gameinput.lib

**Supported platforms:** Windows, XBOX One family consoles and XBOX Series consoles
