I'm trying to build a simple Direct3D application with C++. I've made countless D3D programs in other languages before, specifially VB.NET and C#. This is my first C++ program, and for some reason, the Device won't initialize no matter what I do, even when I copy the code out of a tutorial (which I KNOW works.) Here's the presentation parameters (sorry for the excessive commentation but I love ASCII art :P): And here's the code for creating the device: Do you see anything wrong with this? Another thing that COULD be causing the problem is this: I made a class called Graphics_Handler, containing the variables and code for creating a device. Then I made another class called a Viewport, which contains a reference to the Graphics_Handler and manages it a little better. Both classes are contained in separate header files, and the Viewport is created in the main CPP file. Is there a problem with this system? Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.
