Video Setting Problem

Could you post some of your initialization code please?

BOOL InitGraphics()
{
	//~~ Create Almighty IDirect3D8 Object ~~\\  
 	if(FAILED(lpd3d = Direct3DCreate8(D3D_SDK_VERSION)))
		Game = 0;
	
	// Snatch coder-defined video mode. 
	D3DDISPLAYMODE displayMode;
	
	displayMode.Width=WINDOW_WIDTH; // Set the screen width to the window width
	displayMode.Height=WINDOW_HEIGHT; // Set the screen height to the window height
	displayMode.RefreshRate=0; // Set the refresh rate to default
	displayMode.Format=WINDOW_FORMAT; // Set the color format to pixel format

	// Set the present parameters! JUICY!
	D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS d3dpp; 
	ZeroMemory( &d3dpp, sizeof(d3dpp) );
	d3dpp.SwapEffect = D3DSWAPEFFECT_DISCARD; 
	d3dpp.BackBufferFormat = displayMode.Format; // The color format
	d3dpp.BackBufferWidth = displayMode.Width; // The back buffer width
	d3dpp.BackBufferHeight = displayMode.Height; // The back buffer height


	// Prepare for lift off! OH HEA'' YEAH!!!!
	if(FAILED(lpd3d->CreateDevice(D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT, D3DDEVTYPE_HAL, hwnd, 
                                  D3DCREATE_SOFTWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING, &d3dpp, &lp3dd)))
	{
		MessageBox(hwnd, "Couldn''t Create Device", "ashfasf", MB_OK);
								  return 0;
	}

	D3DXMATRIX Ortho2D;	
	D3DXMATRIX Identity;
	D3DXMatrixOrthoLH(&Ortho2D, (float)WINDOW_WIDTH, (float)WINDOW_HEIGHT, 0.0f, 1.0f);
	D3DXMatrixIdentity(&Identity);

	lp3dd->SetTransform(D3DTS_PROJECTION, &Ortho2D);
	lp3dd->SetTransform(D3DTS_WORLD, &Identity);
	lp3dd->SetTransform(D3DTS_VIEW, &Identity);


	// Make it so that it''ll draw triangles facing either towards or away from the camera
    lp3dd->SetRenderState( D3DRS_CULLMODE, D3DCULL_NONE );
	// Turn off Direct3D''s lighting since we use our own vertex color.
	lp3dd->SetRenderState( D3DRS_LIGHTING, FALSE );

  HFONT MyFont = CreateFont(
  10,             // logical height of font
  10,              // logical average character width
  0,         // angle of escapement
  0,        // base-line orientation angle
  FW_NORMAL,            // font weight
  FALSE,         // italic attribute flag
  FALSE,      // underline attribute flag
  FALSE,      // strikeout attribute flag
  ANSI_CHARSET,        // character set identifier
  OUT_DEFAULT_PRECIS,  // output precision
  CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS,  // clipping precision
  DEFAULT_QUALITY,        // output quality
  FF_SWISS,  // pitch and family
  NULL         // pointer to typeface name string
);

  
  D3DXCreateFont(lp3dd, MyFont, &lpd3dfont);

	//Thank you for your cooperation.
	return 1;
}
 

That''s it. The wierd thing is that it does the exact same thing in DirectDraw.

This is a really wierd problem. I''ve asked about it before, and no one''s figured out what was wrong.

Seems to be a window style problem. Check the samples for the proper ones.

I used to have some problems using DirectDraw and I´ve figure out that they were occurring because I was creating DirectDraw in OnFormCreate. Then I moved the code to the OnActivate event and everything worked ok....

- I suppose so, said Alice.
- Well, then, - the Cat went on - you see, a dog growls when it''s angry, and wags its tail when it''s pleased. Now I growl when I''m pleased, and wag my tail when I''m angry. Therefore I''m mad."
