{
char buffer[256];

{
gpSelectedDriverGUID=lpGUID;
return DDENUMRET_CANCEL;
}
}
return DDENUMRET_OK;
}
DirectDrawEnumerateExA(Callback, NULL, DDENUM_ATTACHEDSECONDARYDEVICES |Then when creating the DirectDraw object just call it like this:

gpSelectedDriverGUID = NULL;
DirectDrawCreate(gpSelectedDriverGUID, &lpdd, NULL);
