• wynfred Move Console code to Window - opengl

  I have some old code that uses the console to get parameters (printf and scanf types) and changes the operations in an OPENGL window. GlutKeyboardFunc is used once focus is transfered to the GL window. Previous to the focus change, input is to the Console.. Is there a quick way to move the Console portion into a Window and to bypass the Console usage as it is now Is there a dummy Console routine that could run in a Window Thanks ...Show All

• Inmon DirectX and winforms

  im using the sampleframework in window mode and was wondering if there was a way to lock the form so it cant be resized thanks There's a couple of 'interesting' things happening here. 1st you can't reliably call sampleFramework.WindowForm until after the CreateDevice call because it needs to know if you are fullscreen or not. So move your border setting code after the SampleFramework.CreateDevice() call. (its j ...Show All

• Wulver The COM-based CORE engine (a lot of questions)

  I'd like to discuss a creation of the core engine for our future projects. I chose this forum not accidentally, I hope that professionals (especially from Microsoft) will help me in my questions. First, I'll say a few words about the core engine. It provides system, input, video and audio core techniques. Also, it has a pluggable system. The main COMponent 'MWCore' (from 'MWCore.dll' server) is only the bridge which connects the parts listed ...Show All

• DJS330 Scaling (Shrinking) Sprite Chops Off Texture...

  I am using the October 2005 Release of DirectX 9.0. When attempting to Scale a Sprite I am running into some very odd behavior. When "growing" the Sprite the Texture stretches and maps fine. When "Shrinking" the Sprite the texture apparently does not shrink - and it gets cut off. I am setting the Transform properly on the Sprite, applying SpriteFlags.AlphaBlend to Sprite.Begin(), and using Sprite.Draw(). Is anyone else ...Show All

• Andrew M Robinson DirectDraw deprecation question

  From what I understand, Microsoft's definition of deprecated APIs like DirectDraw means its not being updated anymore. It doesn't mean it's removed completely from being usable. For me, I'm learning it for 2d education and the book series migrates to D3D9 later. But when I ask questions on MS's forums about DirectDraw and having a problem with an issue, I can guarantee that someone will say it's deprecated and that I shouldn't use it. ...Show All

• Derek Diamond DirectX Area inside a CLR/WFA or MFC window?

  Hello! I'd like to write an application which should use DirectX, but not in the whole window, only a part of the window. In the other parts of the window there should be buttons and input areas to controll what is happening inside the DirectX area. So appart of the DirectX part, that looks like a normal CLR windows forms application or a MFC application. My questions are: Is it possible to include such a DirectX area in a windows forms applic ...Show All

  Can I develop the DX10 and DX9.0c application use VC++ 6.0 My develop environment is VC++ 6.0 and installed VSSP 5.0. No it means VC++ Express needs the .Net framework. VC6 projects will import very nicely in VC2005. It was a major complaint about VC2003 and the C++ team listened.
