Graphical consistency problems when resizing
Author
I've been working on OpenGL and DirectDraw for a little while now, but I recently started doing the DirectX tutorials. I am currently working on Tut 5.
Everything looks great with the preinitialized window resolution, but if you dare touch it, then it will look really ugly.
I think I need to call something on the WM_SIZE msg, but then again other programs look fine even when they don't call that.
What would an experienced D3D programmer tell me ?
TIA
Well I believe that if you want your program to be resizeable then when WM_SIZE is generated you need to adjust the projection or orthographic matrix depending on the new resolution.
If you want the border to be static(non-resizeable) create the window with WS_STATICEDGE(well I don't remember exactly what it's called but it's something like that).
Also I find that when the window is at a non 4:3 ratio(400x300,640x480,800x600,etc..) resolution the FPS drops and the scene looks like crap so I just make my apps non-resizable.
Edit: OK to create a non-resizeable window use CreateWindowEx and use WS_EX_STATICEDGE as the first parameter.

If you're talking about your screen getting pixelly/blurry, then it's because you haven't resized the backbuffer.
To do so, you need to change the BackBufferWidth/Height in your presentParameters, the call pDevice->Reset(&presentParameters).
This can be a bit of a pain, because you need to release all non-managed resources (Like the backbuffer, any fonts and any textures created without D3DPOOL_MANAGED), then recreate them after the reset. You also need to set up all of your render-states again, and all your matrix settings.
There might be a better way of doing this, but this is the way I'm doing it at the moment.

Thanks for the responses
I see that it's not that easy :(.
I have adjusted the width and height parameters in the d3dpp.
My question now is :
Would I call reset in a WM_SIZE msg from windows? Or is there a better way of doing this within the render scene(as I've seen other programs do invisibly to my knowledge)?
Wherever the code goes, I'm assuming it would look like this :
RECT box ;
GetClientRect(hWnd, &box) ;
d3dpp.BackBufferWidth = box.right ;
d3dpp.BackBufferHeight = box.bottom ;
g_pd3dDevice->Reset(&d3dpp) ;
I can't think of a better way. I gotta read up on this stuff. The SDK doesn't cover this. =(

That's pretty much it! Just dont forget to call Release() on any fonts, additional swap chains or non-managed surfaces (If you dont have any textures, then that will probably just be your backbuffer) and then re-create them afterwards.
Note that 'SetPerspectiveMode' just recreates the projection matrix using D3DXMatrixPerspectiveFovLH(). This may seem like a slow procedure, but remember that your user wont be sizing the window every frame.
Good luck!
// Set the screen 'present parameters' m_presentParameters.BackBufferWidth = m_windowWidth; m_presentParameters.BackBufferHeight = m_windowHeight; // Release all non-managed D3D resources m_defaultFont->Release(); m_BackSurf->Release(); // Reset the device with the new present parameters if(FAILED(m_pDevice->Reset(&m_presentParameters))) throw "Error resetting D3D9 device!"; // Reaquire back buffer m_pDevice->GetBackBuffer(0, 0, D3DBACKBUFFER_TYPE_MONO, &m_BackSurf); // Recreate default font D3DXCreateFont(m_pDevice, (HFONT)GetStockObject(SYSTEM_FIXED_FONT), &m_defaultFont); // Set any required renderstates below... m_pDevice->SetRenderState( D3DRS_LIGHTING, TRUE); m_pDevice->SetRenderState( D3DRS_ZENABLE, D3DZB_TRUE); m_pDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_CULLMODE, D3DCULL_CCW); SetPerspectiveMode(m_windowWidth, m_windowHeight, m_fov);Note that 'SetPerspectiveMode' just recreates the projection matrix using D3DXMatrixPerspectiveFovLH().

I understand what you're saying, but I'm not sure if I'm implementing it.

You might want to place some source /source tags around that code to make it easier to read. Here's some ideas, maybe they'll be useful.
Instead of using the WM_SIZE message in the WndProc or WinMain functions, I'd suggest creation a function similar to ProcessMessage(MSG Message) in your game engine. You'll need it for a lot more than just WM_SIZE eventually. You can then just put a call to this function in the WndProc message handler, passing the message to your game engine first.
Now, we're in the game engine ProcessMessage function and we case out WM_SIZE. Here's a code snipet from my engine.
If the max button is pressed (which sends a WM_SIZE event) and if the game engine is set up to toggle to full screen on a maximize, then we go to full screen. Otherwise, we resize the window.
When resizing, I get the new size of the window, then store the values, replace the values in the backbuffer, and change the FOV. My calculation here of PI/4*((float)...) is so that my FOV will change with the screen resolution based on the max resolution currently available. If the window gets bigger, changing the FOV to be proportional allows the view to "spread out" as the window gets wider, so you can see more around. This may not be what you want to do. Finally, I call BeginReset which sets in motion a destruction of all objects that I manage. It also sets a flag "bResetting" so that the next time I enter the Render loop, I check this flag, and if it's set I call EndReset, and otherwise I render as usual. See the code below:
Hope this helps,

Lots of helpful info in there. I guess the code is fairly similar to mine.
I am calling the Reset function improperly. I know this because I tried a
if(FAILED(device->Reset())
MessageBox(xxxx)
which ended up showing the message box.
From my code above I use d3dpool textures and I don't have fonts or anything that need to be reseted.
I appreciate all the help, but
I'm about to give up on this and just ignore it. I know in OpenGL this is done for you, you don't have to worry about it. I think another reason for the problem is because the tutorials were done using D3DX, and the code other people have used to explain their solution doesn't seem to be in D3DX(make difference?).
I'll try a couple more things.
Edit : One thing i did try is g_pVB->Release() ;, I then called the function that recreates it, but with no luck.

Your vertex buffer was not managed, so you have to release it and recreate it. That would go as follows.
g_vb->Release();
g_pd3dDevice->Reset();
Create(g_vb);
Is this how you did it? And it made the screen black?
Chris
g_vb->Release();
g_pd3dDevice->Reset();

Aye, that's exactly what did it.
I released the VB then the g_pd3dDevice.
Now the create of the VB in the tutorial was from the InitGeometry() function which has the code :
Tried that didn't work. Do I need to do something with the device when I reset it?
I even tried releasing the texture and recreating it, still a black screen. I tried looking for DX programs, but they sure do a good job of making sure no one knows how they deal with the resizing of stuff=(
