directX WINDOWED mode?
Author
Hi!
I have converted my project to windowed mode.
I have created the surfaces and the clipper and changed the flip method to the blit method...
But when I load a bitmap it is automaticly resized so that it is like 5 pixels smaller in width and height?!
I actually have no Idee why it is like this... does anyone else know why it is like this ??
Thats right... I use WS_POPUP, WS_SYSMENU, WS_CAPTION for my window. Could it be that I use the title bar or something??
thx!

Ok, I have checked it out some more and have come to the following:
while in window mode and having the same resolution as my desktop:
1280x1024
the pictures get resized a little.
But when I change screen resolution with SetDisplayMode to 640x480...
then the pictures are OK!
wth?!
I dont have a slightest idee why it would be like that?!

When you create the direct3d object, you need to specify the resolution used in the window(via the D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS BackBufferWidth or BackBufferHeight field). If you set it to the desktop resolution, the window will have coordinates ranging from 0 to 1024(if thats the desktop resoltion) in the space provided by the window.(If your window width is 800, the coordinates will be adjusted to emulate 1024 pixels in that 800 pixel space) I usually adjust the backbuffer resolution to the exact pixel size of the window on resize.
Hope this helps.

Ah, I c...
But the thing is that I use DirectDraw7 for this.
And I now DEFENITELY KNOW what the problem is!
When I create a window WITH A TITLE BAR on top, then the pictures screw up! Instead of just cutting away the space that the titlebar takes, the re rest of the window is pressed together!?
I have tried to create windows WITHOUT title bars and then everything is fine.

first create a RECT with the dimensions of your display area.
use the API AdjustWindowRect to expand it a little
and create your window with these resized dimensions... all will be well

Could you please tell me some more about it?
I read some documentation about AdjustWindowRect()
But I dont what to do with this?
Will the values change in the rect that I pass with the function?
thx!

Great, thank you!
I was going crazy about this
I messed half day with my drawing functions and surface creation and other stuff
thx!

The easiest way to do it (that I know of):

// Get the client and window dimensionsRECT ClientRect, WndRect;GetClientRect(hWnd, &ClientRect);GetWindowRect(hWnd, &WndRect);// Set the width and height (set your dimensions here)DWORD DesiredWidth = 640;DWORD DesiredHeight = 480;DWORD Width = (WndRect.right - WndRect.left) + (DesiredWidth - ClientRect.right);DWORD Height = (WndRect.bottom - WndRect.top) + (DesiredHeight - ClientRect.bottom);// Set the window's dimensionsMoveWindow(hWnd, WndRect.left, WndRect.top, Width, Height, TRUE); [edited by - Jim Adams on April 29, 2003 3:06:22 PM]
Using AdjustWindowRect:
Substitute whichever window style your window has. Pass TRUE if it has a menu, FALSE if not.
rectClient will then contain the size needed to get a 640x480 client area. It won't necessarily be at 0,0.

RECT rectClient = { 0, 0, 640, 480 };AdjustWindowRect(&rectClient, WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, TRUE); Substitute whichever window style your window has. Pass TRUE if it has a menu, FALSE if not.
