Hi everyone! Cany you tell me. How can i encapsulate DirectX Componenents into class, say: Class CDraw, CSound, CInput, CMusic...And can i even encapsulate every those objects into one class called: DirectX Class. So everytime i want to use DirectX to make game i just include that DirectX class to get everything of DX? Thanks

If you are using VC++ (I''m not sure if any other compilers support it) use a static library (.lib file) for your class. Compile the class as a LIB project. Then put you headers in a valid include directory and your LIB file into a valid LIB directory. Then all you need to do is call #include <whatever.h> and change the link settings to link the lib. See MSDN for more.

You should learn C++, and try to implement it. I dont have a clue how you could ask these questions, Im sorry but its true...

Also if using VC you can use the DX app wizard to generate a basic framework for you. This will give you an example of how it can be done. (the example may be a bit difficult to read through if you are just beginning, but it will give you classes for ALL of the features).

It is a good idea!

Thanks for all of you
