Firstly you will need to use API's calls. Secondly you will probably need to know something about what information the Joystick actually sends to the computer and how it is interpreted by the driver application for it. Once you know that then you can start work on writing a wrapper.

In Beginning Game Programming by Michael Morrison, it tells how to get joystick input. Get it from the library or something.
