In my project I use the macro RGBA_MAKE and from what I know I have to include d3dtypes.h to use it. However, when I compile my project I get the following warning: "Should not include d3dtypes.h when compiling for DX8 or newer interfaces" I am using DX9.0 .... So what do I need to include instead of d3dtypes.h to use RGBA_MAKE and get rid of the warning. -Andrew

Because "d3dtypes.h" is superceded by either "d3d8types.h" or "d3d9types.h", but if you can, it's probably better to just include "d3d9.h" and be done with it unless there is some reason you don't want the other parts of D3D.

Edit:
Looking at the d3dtypes.h header file, it has this in it:

#ifndef DIRECT3D_VERSION#define DIRECT3D_VERSION         0x0700#endif#if (DIRECT3D_VERSION >= 0x0800)#pragma message("should not include d3dtypes.h when compiling for DX8 or newer interfaces")#endif

Which implies that you've already included a D3D8 or D3D9 header somewhere before it. Also, RGBA_MAKE is superceded (and doesn't exist) in the new versions of D3D, the macros you probably want to use now are D3DCOLOR_RGBA, D3DCOLOR_ARGB or D3DCOLOR_XRGB, which provide similar functionality.

I didn't even know there was such a thing as RGBA_MAKE(). It isn't actually in the docs, even though it is of course still in the header. What is in the docs is D3DCOLOR_RGBA(), which should be usable just by including .

Thanks Mezz,

I already have d3d9.h included.

This is what I have included now:

#include
#include
#include
#include

Any more ideas??
