# IGameInputDevice::GetOutputReportCount

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

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

## Syntax

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

### Parameters

This method has no parameters.

### Return value

Type: uint32\_t

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

## Remarks

Output reports are the raw reports that an application can send to a device. To send 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 `GameInputRawOutputReport`, fill it with [IGameInputRawDeviceReport::SetRawData](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/input/gameinput/interfaces/igameinputrawdevicereport/methods/igameinputrawdevicereport_setrawdata.md), and pass it to [SendRawDeviceOutput](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/input/gameinput/interfaces/igameinputdevice/methods/igameinputdevice_sendrawdeviceoutput.md).

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

In GameInput v3 and earlier, this information was available from the `outputReportCount` 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
