compiler not finding direct draw
Author
I am trying direct draw and the compiler isn''t
recognizing direct draw commands. I included
ddraw.h and added ddraw.lib and dxguid.lib to my
project. My guess is I''m missing a .h or .lib file.
Can anyone help?
What compiler are you using? If your using .NET, try including them in stdafx.h. If you are using MinGW, you need .a libs. Also, make sure you have the compiler set up so it looks in the directory you installed DirectX for headers and libs, or else it is just ignoring them. Better yet, move them to your compiler''s directory in your own folder.

i had problems last week with directdraw aswell. did you write
"#define INITGUID" at the beginning of the program

#define INITGUID tells the compiler to link dxguid.lib and jimiwa has already done that.
What are the exact errors you are getting, jimiwa?

I''m going to assume you''re using MSVC? If so, make sure you added your DirectX SDK''s path to it. 
Your compiler won''t find the libs otherwise.

I am getting undeclared identifiers:
DD_OK
DDSCL_EXCLUSIVE
DDSCL_FULLSCREEN
hwnd
IID_IDirectDraw7
left of ->SetCooperativeLevel must point to class/struct/union
lpDD - missing storage class or type specifiers
LPDIRECTDRAW7 - missing storage class or type specifiers
DD_OK - identifier not found
DirectDrawCreateEx- identifier not found
I am using Visual Studio .net (c++)
I have include path directories set, too.

You say you included ddraw.h to your project, does that mean you are #including them in the files that you use DirectDraw? Your errors indicate that there hasn''t been an #include <ddraw.h> prior to that code.

including them in stdafx.h worked. Thanks.
