haikal,
As your joystick is normal USB joy.. Its fairly easy to use it from VB or other programming languages.
Take a look at this post here at DIYD. There are VB files from James. Also you can take a look of Paul's HK GCS software which is opensource.
Paul has joystick control running on his GCS.
Hes codes can be found from:

Also this is really good basic post on how to activate needed modules etc on VB

And you if these are not enough, you can search google for more. There are a lot of information. With search "reading joystick in visual basic" I got 1.5 million hits on goodle :)
