direct3d device creation

Use the "Handle" property of your form, it holds the HWnd.

ok did that.

the native c++ library is compiled with CLR option. now, when i come and wrap it under managed C++, it reads the library , but it brings some linking errors, some of these r from the std library like GetDC() that are available in the native C++ library that i have my direct3d device in.

how do i solve the linking errors in the managed library?

could you please tell me how to send it to native c++, cause im having a hard time doing it. thx

I have never wrapped anything myself, but can't you compile your library as it is, unmanaged, and then add then add it to your managed wrapper? I'd assume that you use the library functions just as you usually do when using libraries. But never done it before, so YMMV.

On the other hand, does your library really do much? Is there a reason you aren't using DirectX directly from your managed code?

cause i have a whole library for Direct3d of my own implementation in native. i dont want to rewrite it under managed.
i thought of doing a wrapper easier than rewritting the whole thing.
plus, in the future, i might be using the library for xbox games, cause the xbox uses native DirectX i heard.
