Try this :

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

Local $joy, $coor, $h, $s, $msg

$joy = _JoyInit()
GUICreate("Joystick Test", 300, 300)
$h = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 10, 10, 290, 290)
GUISetState()

While 1
$msg = GUIGetMsg()
$coor = _GetJoy($joy, 0)
$s = "Joystick(0):" & @CRLF & _
"X: " & $coor[0] & @CRLF & _
"Y: " & $coor[1] & @CRLF & _
"Z: " & $coor[2] & @CRLF & _
"R: " & $coor[3] & @CRLF & _
"U: " & $coor[4] & @CRLF & _
"V: " & $coor[5] & @CRLF & _
"POV: " & $coor[6] & @CRLF & _
"Buttons: " & $coor[7]
GUICtrlSetData($h, $s, 1)
Sleep(10)
If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
WEnd

_JoyClose($joy)

;======================================
; _JoyInit()
;======================================
Func _JoyInit()
Local $joy
Global $JOYINFOEX_struct = "dword[13]"

$joy = DllStructCreate($JOYINFOEX_struct)
If @error Then Return 0
DllStructSet($joy, 1, DllStructSize($joy), 1);dwSize = sizeof(struct)
DllStructSet($joy, 1, 255, 2) ;dwFlags = GetAll
Return $joy
EndFunc

;======================================
; _GetJoy($lpJoy,$iJoy)
; $lpJoy Return from _JoyInit()
; $iJoy Joystick # 0-15
; Return Array containing X-Pos, Y-Pos, Z-Pos, R-Pos, U-Pos, V-Pos,POV
; Buttons down
;
; *POV This is a digital game pad, not analog joystick
; 65535 = Not pressed
; 0 = U
; 4500 = UR
; 9000 = R
; Goes around clockwise increasing 4500 for each position
;======================================
Func _GetJoy($lpJoy, $iJoy)
Local $coor, $ret

Dim $coor[8]
DllCall("Winmm.dll", _
"int", "joyGetPosEx", _
"int", $iJoy, _
"ptr", DllStructPtr($lpJoy) _
)

If Not @error Then
$coor[0] = DllStructGet($lpJoy, 1, 3)
$coor[1] = DllStructGet($lpJoy, 1, 4)
$coor[2] = DllStructGet($lpJoy, 1, 5)
$coor[3] = DllStructGet($lpJoy, 1, 6)
$coor[4] = DllStructGet($lpJoy, 1, 7)
$coor[5] = DllStructGet($lpJoy, 1, 8)
$coor[6] = DllStructGet($lpJoy, 1, 11)
$coor[7] = DllStructGet($lpJoy, 1, 9)
EndIf

Return $coor
EndFunc

;======================================
; _JoyClose($lpJoy)
; Free the memory allocated for the joystick struct
;======================================
Func _JoyClose($lpJoy)
DllStructFree($lpJoy)
EndFunc
