can some help me change this to a class?

void Panel()
{
float PanelWidth = 200.0f;
float PanelHeight = 200.0f;

g_pD3DDevice->CreateVertexBuffer(4 * sizeof(PANELVERTEX), D3DUSAGE_WRITEONLY,D3DFVF_PANELVERTEX, 
                                    D3DPOOL_MANAGED,&p_VertexBuffer );

PANELVERTEX* pVertices = NULL;
p_VertexBuffer->Lock(0, 4 * sizeof(PANELVERTEX), (BYTE**)&pVertices,0);
pVertices[0].color = pVertices[1].color = pVertices[2].color = pVertices[3].color = 0xffffffff;

pVertices[0].x = pVertices[3].x = - PanelWidth / 2.0f;
pVertices[1].x = pVertices[2].x = PanelWidth /2.0f;
pVertices[0].y = pVertices[1].y = PanelHeight / 2.0f;
pVertices[2].y = pVertices[3].y = - PanelHeight / 2.0f;
pVertices[0].z = pVertices[1].z = pVertices[2].z = pVertices[3].z = 1.0f;
pVertices[1].u = pVertices[2].u = 0.625f;
pVertices[0].u = pVertices[3].u = 0.0f;
pVertices[0].v = pVertices[1].v = 0.0f;
pVertices[2].v = pVertices[3].v = 0.9375f;

p_VertexBuffer->Unlock();


D3DXCreateTextureFromFileEx(g_pD3DDevice, "Texture.jpg", 0, 0, 0, 0,
                            D3DFMT_A8R8G8B8, D3DPOOL_MANAGED, D3DX_DEFAULT,
                            D3DX_DEFAULT, 0, NULL,NULL,&m_pD3DTexture);

}
 

*sigh*

here... in a .h:

class cMyClass
{
public:
void Panel();
};

in a .cpp:

#include "insert_your_h_file_name_here.h"

void cMyClass:anel()
{
float PanelWidth = 200.0f;float PanelHeight = 200.0f;g_pD3DDevice->CreateVertexBuffer(4 * sizeof(PANELVERTEX), D3DUSAGE_WRITEONLY,D3DFVF_PANELVERTEX, D3DPOOL_MANAGED,&p_VertexBuffer );PANELVERTEX* pVertices = NULL;p_VertexBuffer->Lock(0, 4 * sizeof(PANELVERTEX), (BYTE**)&pVertices,0);pVertices[0].color = pVertices[1].color = pVertices[2].color = pVertices[3].color = 0xffffffff;pVertices[0].x = pVertices[3].x = - PanelWidth / 2.0f;pVertices[1].x = pVertices[2].x = PanelWidth /2.0f;pVertices[0].y = pVertices[1].y = PanelHeight / 2.0f;pVertices[2].y = pVertices[3].y = - PanelHeight / 2.0f;pVertices[0].z = pVertices[1].z = pVertices[2].z = pVertices[3].z = 1.0f;pVertices[1].u = pVertices[2].u = 0.625f;pVertices[0].u = pVertices[3].u = 0.0f;pVertices[0].v = pVertices[1].v = 0.0f;pVertices[2].v = pVertices[3].v = 0.9375f;p_VertexBuffer->Unlock();D3DXCreateTextureFromFileEx(g_pD3DDevice, "Texture.jpg", 0, 0, 0, 0, D3DFMT_A8R8G8B8, D3DPOOL_MANAGED, D3DX_DEFAULT, D3DX_DEFAULT, 0, NULL,NULL,&m_pD3DTexture);
}

and in your main c++ file:

#include "insert_your_h_file_name_here.h"

cMyClass myclass;

somewhere in a function to call panel:

myclass.panel();

I see. Thank you for your help.It took me a while to figure out that it needed to be in a class and not a function.

Becuase I have to make a lot of panels and instead of making alot of the same thing i am going to try to just make a class nad call it everytime I make a new panel. That is the only way I can figure out how to make a lot of 2d objects.

can I put it like this class CPanel : Public Cpanel or will it not work that way ?

alright now I undersatnd I need to make a structure.
But how do I turn all this to a structure.

void camera2d(float WindowWidth, float WindowHeight){ D3DXMATRIX Ortho2D;     D3DXMATRIX Identity;        //Setup the orthogonal projection matrix and the default world/view matrix    D3DXMatrixOrthoLH(&Ortho2D, WindowWidth, WindowHeight, 0.0f, 1.0f);    D3DXMatrixIdentity(&Identity);    g_pD3DDevice->SetTransform(D3DTS_PROJECTION, &Ortho2D);    g_pD3DDevice->SetTransform(D3DTS_WORLD, &Identity);    g_pD3DDevice->SetTransform(D3DTS_VIEW, &Identity);                        //Make sure that the z-buffer and lighting are disabled   g_pD3DDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_ZENABLE, D3DZB_FALSE);    g_pD3DDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_LIGHTING, FALSE);g_pD3DDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_ALPHABLENDENABLE, TRUE);g_pD3DDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_SRCBLEND, D3DBLEND_SRCALPHA);g_pD3DDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_DESTBLEND, D3DBLEND_INVSRCALPHA);g_pD3DDevice->SetTextureStageState(0, D3DTSS_ALPHAOP, D3DTOP_MODULATE);    }

      void Panel(){float PanelWidth = 200.0f;float PanelHeight = 200.0f;g_pD3DDevice->CreateVertexBuffer(4 * sizeof(PANELVERTEX), 0,D3DFVF_PANELVERTEX,                                     D3DPOOL_DEFAULT,&p_VertexBuffer );PANELVERTEX* pVertices = NULL;p_VertexBuffer->Lock(0, 4 * sizeof(PANELVERTEX), (BYTE**)&pVertices,0);pVertices[0].color = pVertices[1].color = pVertices[2].color = pVertices[3].color = 0xffffffff;pVertices[0].x = pVertices[3].x = - PanelWidth / 2.0f;pVertices[1].x = pVertices[2].x = PanelWidth /2.0f;pVertices[0].y = pVertices[1].y = PanelHeight / 2.0f;pVertices[2].y = pVertices[3].y = - PanelHeight / 2.0f;pVertices[0].z = pVertices[1].z = pVertices[2].z = pVertices[3].z = 1.0f;pVertices[1].u = pVertices[2].u = 0.625f;pVertices[0].u = pVertices[3].u = 0.0f;pVertices[0].v = pVertices[1].v = 0.0f;pVertices[2].v = pVertices[3].v = 0.9375f;p_VertexBuffer->Unlock();D3DXCreateTextureFromFileEx(g_pD3DDevice, "Texture.jpg", 0, 0, 0, 0,                            D3DFMT_A8R8G8B8, D3DPOOL_MANAGED, D3DX_DEFAULT,                            D3DX_DEFAULT, 0, NULL,NULL,&m_pD3DTexture);}   

   void render2D(){D3DXMATRIX Position;D3DXMatrixTranslation(&Position, 50.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);g_pD3DDevice->SetTransform(D3DTS_WORLD, &Position);g_pD3DDevice->SetVertexShader (D3DFVF_PANELVERTEX);g_pD3DDevice->SetStreamSource (0, p_VertexBuffer, sizeof(PANELVERTEX));g_pD3DDevice->DrawPrimitive (D3DPT_TRIANGLEFAN, 0, 2);g_pD3DDevice->SetTexture(0,m_pD3DTexture);}

This is what I have so far.

struct panel
{
float panelwidth;
float panelhight;
float screenwidth;
float screenhight;

}

But now exactly what I want


I want soem thing that will do this

Panel->D3DXCreateTextureFromFileEx(g_pD3DDevice, "Texture.jpg", 0, 0, 0, 0, D3DFMT_A8R8G8B8, D3DPOOL_MANAGED, D3DX_DEFAULT,
D3DX_DEFAULT, 0, NULL,NULL,&m_pD3DTexture);
Panel2->D3DXCreateTextureFromFileEx(g_pD3DDevice, "Texture2.jpg", 0, 0, 0, 0, D3DFMT_A8R8G8B8, D3DPOOL_MANAGED, D3DX_DEFAULT,
D3DX_DEFAULT, 0, NULL,NULL,&m_pD3DTexture);

You mean to tell us the book/tutorial you copied that code from didn''t tell you how to use it? Pshaw.
