Direct Draw

Do you have:

#define DIRECTDRAW_VERSION 0x0700

before you,

#include <ddraw.h>

"Who lives in a pineapple under the sea ?"

Nope i have added it but still getting :

C:\temp\Taquin_Step2\taquin.c(75) : error C2115: ''function'' : incompatible types
C:\temp\Taquin_Step2\taquin.c(75) : warning C4024: ''DirectDrawCreateEx'' : different types for formal and actual parameter 3

->DirectDrawCreateEx( NULL, &lpdd7, IID_IDirectDraw7, NULL );

( i hate directx )

hr = DirectDrawCreateEx(NULL, (VOID**)&lpDD, IID_IDirectDraw7, NULL);

try that

"If it doesn''t fit, force it; if it breaks, it needed replacement anyway."

Still not working

C:\temp\Taquin_Step2\taquin.c(76) : error C2115: ''function'' : incompatible types
C:\temp\Taquin_Step2\taquin.c(76) : warning C4024: ''DirectDrawCreateEx'' : different types for formal and actual parameter 3

Bit of a pian sometimes ain''t it.

Before anything is setup I use:

#pragma comment(lib, "dxguid.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "ddraw.lib")

To ensure those libraries are included before I include the header files.

In my initialization I have:

LPDIRECTDRAW7 lpDD;

DirectDrawCreateEx( NULL, (VOID**)&lpDD, IID_IDirectDraw7, NULL );

Give it a whirl.

[woops] MindWipe snuck one in there, and my replies don''t seem to be replying. [/woops]

Good Luck, Guy

I''m getting a new problem :/

now i''m trying to set the cooperative mode but i''m getting this :

C:\temp\Taquin_Step2\taquin.c(82) : error C2039: ''SetCooperativeLevel'' : is not a member of ''IDirectDraw7''
c:\dxsdk\include\ddraw.h(1243) : see declaration of ''IDirectDraw7''$

for this :

lpdd7->SetCooperativeLevel( hwnd, DDSCL_EXCLUSIVE|DDSCL_FULLSCREEN );

I''m going crazy !

Your file is a .c file. You cannot access class member functions in C, but DirectX provides a method to do this.

Read the DirectDraw docs to find it out, or rename your file to .cpp
