Resizing D3D windows

Try resizing the window, and then when you get a resize message or event(depends on what language you are using), try reseting the device. Works like a charm. :]

Jesus is Lord!!

Treat it like a lost device. Change the backbuffer size in the presentation parameters to match the new client rect of your window, and do a Reset(), and all associated invalidate/restore that goes with a Reset.

An alternative is to never use the main swapchain. Draw everything, even your main window (possibly only window) as a swapchain. All you''ll need to do is destroy and create a new swap chain rather than all your non-managed objects.

So I do need to reload all of my vertex buffers?

If you Reset, and your VBs are in D3DPOOL_DEFAULT, then yes. If they''re in D3DPOOL_MANAGED, no. Just like a lost device.

If you do the swap chain thing, then no, regardless of the pool.

Ok. Thanks!
