I am trying to set my cooperative level for directX. It keeps failing.Here is part of my code. HRESULT ddrval; ddrval=lpdd->SetCooperativeLevel(MWH,DDSCL_EXCLUSIVE / DDSCL_FULLSCREEN / DDSCL_ALLOWREBOOT); if(ddrval!=DD_OK) { GameState=GSSHUTDOWN; } When I run the program it errors out with exclusive and fullscreen. However when I put it to normal it is fine. Any ideas on why this is happening?

Whats the return value your getting?

Are you using the ''OR'' character (''/'') or the DIVIDE character (''/'')?

You know. I may be the biggest computer bug there ever was. I will explain what I did. For in the likeliness that others will do the same as I.
#define GSINIT 0 //Game state values
#define GSMENU 1
#define GSRUNNING 2
#define GSSHUTDOWN 3

GameState=0; //sets the game state to init

switch(GameState)
{
case GSINIT:
{
if(DirectDrawCreateEx(NULL,
(VOID**)&lpdd,IID_IDirectDraw7,NULL)!=DD_OK)
{
GameState=GSSHUTDOWN;
}
if(lpdd->SetCooperativeLevel(main_window_handle,DDSCL_FULLSCREEN / DDSCL_EXCLUSIVE / DDSCL_ALLOWREBOOT)!=DD_OK)
{
GameState=GSSHUTDOWN;
}
if(lpdd->SetDisplayMode(800,600,8,0,0)!=DD_OK)
{
GameState=GSSHUTDOWN;
}
} //Notice I didn''t set GameState to GSRUNNING?
It looped around and tried to setup DDRAW and failed cause it was setup already.
I think I win the award for stupid mistakes.
