PLEASE give me clipping code!!
Author
I cannot figure clipping out, I've searched everywhere
on the internet and when I try to piece it together,
it doesn't work. If you know how to do clipping
with direct draw 7 (my direct draw object is lpdirectdraw7,
NOT lpdirectdraw) please give me the code for clipping.
I already have all the animation working, it's just
the clipping code that I need.
This is also your 5th post with the same question. Perhaps, as davidx9 suggested, you could be more specific in your question. Outline what you are trying to accomplish, what you have tried, exactly how what you tried failed, show the code your are having problems with, etc.

I want to clip partly off screen sprites on my
640*480 back/front surfaces.
Basically, I have my front and back surfaces set up,
my direct draw objects, etc..
here's what I tried first:
I also tried this:
two different code sources I found on the internet,
I don't know which method is closer to what I need
to do. I'm really lost, basically.

ddrval = lpdd7->CreateClipper(0, &clipper, NULL);if (ddrval != DD_OK){ exit(1);}clipper->SetHWnd(0, hWnd);// yes I do have a global hWnd window handle that is // instantiated correctlylpDDSPrimary->SetClipper(clipper);clipper->Release();two different code sources I found on the internet,

So, what didn't work about those two methods? Did they crash? Did the simply not do anything? Did you get strange results?
There is an article right here on GemDev.net that shows how to set this up. Apparently, you didn't "search everywhere."

Do you maybe mean collision detection?
Heh, he actually might want to induce clipping somehow. Maybe his collision detection system works too well and he'd the game to have a few bugs worthy of a patch/expansion. Silliness.
