Look in the compiler manual. If it''s VC++ look in the help files. Or the MSDN. You need to look up resources and dialogs. In a DirectDraw fullscreen it isn''t much different from non fullscreen, but in fullscreen the dialogs must be children of the main window or else they won''t show through.

Hi...

I can write a small article here

so you want to use dialog boxes with DDraw..
you create FullScreen app, chain of flipping surface and so on..

you can show dialog boxes by two ways:

one you need to check if videocard support DDSCAPS2_CANRENDERWINDOWED flag or something like this (i don''t realy remember). If so, when you can use DDraw FlipToGDISirface () metod and after what show you dialog box (but you need to set parent hwnd for this dialog as you window hwnd - not a null)..

i check some video card for this caps and they all support it.. so your video card must support it to.. if it is not so, let''s me know and I write second way for it..

You can use the MoveWindow function to resize your window how
large you want to. Just make sure to put the function inside your dialog procedure code.

Good luck.
