Direct Draw Headers.
Author
Exactly which headers are needed or most commanly used in a game that uses direct draw? Ive looked all over but cannot find the info i need.
Try the directx samples.
Then on the MSVC++ goto ''Project->Settings...'' menu, click Link tab to see the libraries you should ALSO include in your project in order to make it work. With the headers only, is not enough.

Yeah i know about the include directories. I have the DX includes and libraries included in my compiler. My program wont work for some reason though and the only problem i can think of is that im missing a include. I just dont know which one.
You need to supply the Library file list for your project. This is NOT the include DIRECTORIES.
In VC++, go to Project -> Settings -> Link.
Then in the "Object/Library Modules" textbox, add the Direct Draw Libraries (these are the file names). Also add any other Libraries for DirectX that you use in your project.
You can get the file names from one of the SDK Samples.
Heres what I use with DirectX 8.1b:
(Note: includes ALL the DX libraries
dplayx.lib dsound.lib d3d8.lib d3dx8.lib d3dxof.lib dxguid.lib dinput8.lib
Be sure to ADD them, don''t remove the ones already there.

Yeah i just figured that out *Whaps himself on the head* Thats not the same for the libraries that come with the compiler though, Right? I hate learning how to use a compiler. There are to many functions and to large of a helpfile. Well thanks for the help.
