Get GUID of Mouse -

Hello all,

How do I obtain the GUID of the system mouse? I know that it's called "GUID_SysMouse" but how do I obtain the GUID using VB.NET (VS 2005)?

I'm trying to use Microsoft.DirectX.DirectInput.Device() but it's asking for the GUID of the device.

I'm trying to use DirectInput to get the mouse movement (not the mouse position that's given by a simple MouseMove event).

I've seen something in my searching on the internet about the ManagementObjectSearcher for getting system information, but not sure how to implement this either.

Seems a little tough just to get the mouse guid (not to mention the mouse movement)!

Thanks to all!
