I got a minor problem.. When i draw text with this command

fnt.Name = "Arial"
fnt.Size = 18
fnt.Bold = True
Set MainFontDesc = fnt
Set MainFont = D3DX.CreateFont(D3DDevice, MainFontDesc.hFont)

TextRect.Top = 0
TextRect.Left = 1
TextRect.bottom = 480
TextRect.Right = 640

D3DX.DrawText MainFont, &HFFCCCCFF, "Current Frame Rate: " & FPS_Current, TextRect, DT_TOP Or DT_CENTER

The text appears but when i try to change the color of the text the text will not appear.. How can i get this to work with other color?

Make sure your new color is no-alpha. Basically, only change some parts of the color:


&HFFFFFFFF = black
&HFF000000 = white
&HFFFF0000 = red
  ^^these must be set to FF

I like pie.
