I tried many examples, but even both (https://forums.ni.com/t5/Example-Code/Xbox-Control-UI/ta-p/3525774) and (https://forums.ni.com/t5/Example-Code/Xbox-360-LabVIEW-Interface/ta-p/3498186) not work.

I found my joystick worked in an online test (https://gamepad-tester.com), so the problem comes from the Labview driver or app. 

Later I tried the following and then the above codes worked, for reasons unknown.

(1) I download the compatible Labview VISA driver (refer to https://www.ni.com/en-us/support/documentation/compatibility/16/ni-visa-and-labview-version-compatib...

(2) I assigned 2 rather than 0 to the device index to the Initialize Joystick VI.
