d3d10 debugging

Try looking at this website, specifically the information about the debug layer, this mentions how to add your own messages to the infoqueue:

The "control panel" app I believe is no longer in the control panel, but should be accessible from the start menu under utilities in the SDK folder.

I was looking at that ID3D10InfoQueue interface, but I think that is more than I need at this point. Right now, I just want Direct3D to output all the error messages in the Visual Studio output box, like Direct3D9 would do when you enabled direct3d debugging in the control panel.

Do I just need to create a debug device to do this?


Also, do any of the SDK samples use ID3D10InfoQueue?

No. Start Menu -> SDK -> DirectX Utilities -> DirectX control Panel -> "Direct3D 10" tab -> "Force On" inside the "Debug Layer" tab. simple [grin]

Not that I'm aware of, but it's pretty straight forward to use. Only down-side is it can be pretty slow if you use it heavily. My next '3D Pipes in D3D10' project makes use of it, but it's nowhere near worth looking at yet...

The "Force On" button is disabled (grayed out) and it is left on "Application Controlled." Any idea why it is like this?
