Hello, I''m just trying to get into directx programming and I ''ve a problem width initalizing the PrimarySurface under Windows 2000. There are no compile errors but I can''t clear the PrimarySurface (trying to make it black). Here''s the code I use to create a complex surface (PrimarySurface with one BackSurface) :


int InitDirectX() {	HRESULT ddrval;		ddrval = DirectDrawCreateEx(NULL, (LPVOID *)&lpDD, IID_IDirectDraw7, NULL);	if (ddrval != DD_OK) {		MessageBox(hWnd, "DDraw Fehler: DirectDrawCreateEx()", "DDRAW ERROR", MB_OK);		return(-1);	}		ddrval = lpDD->SetCooperativeLevel(hWnd, DDSCL_EXCLUSIVE | DDSCL_FULLSCREEN );	if (ddrval != DD_OK) {		MessageBox(hWnd, "DDraw Fehler: SetCooperativeLevel()", "DDRAW ERROR", MB_OK);		return(-1);	}		ddrval = lpDD->SetDisplayMode(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, SCREEN_BPP, 0, 0);		if (ddrval != DD_OK) 		return(-1);		// create Complex Surface 	ZeroMemory(&ddsd, sizeof(ddsd));	ddsd.dwSize = sizeof(ddsd);	ddsd.dwFlags = DDSD_CAPS | DDSD_BACKBUFFERCOUNT;	ddsd.ddsCaps.dwCaps = DDSCAPS_PRIMARYSURFACE | DDSCAPS_FLIP | DDSCAPS_COMPLEX;	ddsd.dwBackBufferCount = 1;	ddrval = lpDD->CreateSurface(&ddsd, &lpDDSPrimary, NULL);	if (ddrval != DD_OK) {		MessageBox(hWnd, "DDraw Error: CreateSurface()", "DDRAW ERROR", MB_OK);		return(-1);	}	ZeroMemory(&ddscaps, sizeof(ddscaps));	ddscaps.dwCaps = DDSCAPS_BACKBUFFER;	ddrval = lpDDSPrimary->GetAttachedSurface(&ddscaps, &lpDDSBack);	if (ddrval != DD_OK) {		MessageBox(hWnd, "DDraw Error: GetAttachedSurface()", "DDRAW ERROR", MB_OK);		return(-1);	}	ClearSurface(lpDDSPrimary, 0);	ClearSurface(lpDDSBack, 0);	return(1);}

And here is my routine to clean the surfaces:


bool ClearSurface(LPDIRECTDRAWSURFACE7 lpDDSurf, UCHAR Farbe) {	HRESULT ddrval;		DDBLTFX ddBltFx;	ZeroMemory(&ddBltFx, sizeof(DDBLTFX));	ddBltFx.dwSize = sizeof(DDBLTFX);	ddBltFx.dwFillColor = Farbe;	ddrval = lpDDSurf->Blt(NULL, NULL, NULL, DDBLT_COLORFILL | DDBLT_WAIT, &ddBltFx);	if (ddrval != DD_OK) {		MessageBox(hWnd, "DDraw Error: ClearSurface()","DDRAW ERROR", MB_OK);		return(false);	}	return(true);}

The Back Surface I can clear an set to black color by using ClearSurface(lpDDSBack, 0) - but that''s not working with the Primary Surface. Under Windows 98 it works fine. I only have problem under Windows 2000. What can I do to fix this ???

Whoops - seems that I teared the source .... one more try ...

Hello,

I''m just trying to get into directx programming and I ''ve a problem width initalizing the PrimarySurface under Windows 2000.
There are no compile errors but I can''t clear the PrimarySurface (trying to make it black).
Here''s the code I use to create a complex surface (PrimarySurface with one BackSurface) :

int InitDirectX() {	HRESULT ddrval;	// Rückgabewert		ddrval = DirectDrawCreateEx(NULL, (LPVOID *)&lpDD, IID_IDirectDraw7, NULL);	if (ddrval != DD_OK) {		MessageBox(hWnd, "DDraw Fehler: DirectDrawCreateEx()", "DDRAW ERROR", MB_OK);		return(-1);	}		ddrval = lpDD->SetCooperativeLevel(hWnd, DDSCL_ALLOWMODEX | DDSCL_FULLSCREEN | DDSCL_EXCLUSIVE | DDSCL_ALLOWREBOOT );	if (ddrval != DD_OK) {		MessageBox(hWnd, "DDraw Fehler: SetCooperativeLevel()", "DDRAW ERROR", MB_OK);		return(-1);	}		ddrval = lpDD->SetDisplayMode(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, SCREEN_BPP, 0, 0);		if (ddrval != DD_OK) 		return(-1);	// create Complex Surface	ZeroMemory(&ddsd, sizeof(ddsd));	ddsd.dwSize = sizeof(ddsd);	ddsd.dwFlags = DDSD_CAPS | DDSD_BACKBUFFERCOUNT;	ddsd.ddsCaps.dwCaps = DDSCAPS_PRIMARYSURFACE | DDSCAPS_FLIP | DDSCAPS_COMPLEX;	ddsd.dwBackBufferCount = 1;	ddrval = lpDD->CreateSurface(&ddsd, &lpDDSPrimary, NULL);	if (ddrval != DD_OK) {		MessageBox(hWnd, "DDraw Error: CreateSurface()", "DDRAW ERROR", MB_OK);		return(-1);	}	ZeroMemory(&ddscaps, sizeof(ddscaps));	ddscaps.dwCaps = DDSCAPS_BACKBUFFER;	ddrval = lpDDSPrimary->GetAttachedSurface(&ddscaps, &lpDDSBack);	if (ddrval != DD_OK) {		MessageBox(hWnd, "DDraw Error: GetAttachedSurface()", "DDRAW ERROR", MB_OK);		return(-1);	}	return(1);}

And here is my routine to clean the surfaces:

bool ClearSurface(LPDIRECTDRAWSURFACE7 lpDDSurf, UCHAR Farbe) {	HRESULT ddrval;	DDBLTFX ddBltFx;	ZeroMemory(&ddBltFx, sizeof(DDBLTFX));	ddBltFx.dwSize = sizeof(DDBLTFX);	ddBltFx.dwFillColor = Farbe;	ddrval = lpDDSurf->Blt(NULL, NULL, NULL, DDBLT_COLORFILL | DDBLT_WAIT, &ddBltFx);	if (ddrval != DD_OK) {		MessageBox(hWnd, "DDraw Error: ClearSurface()","DDRAW ERROR", MB_OK);		return(false);	}	return(true);}

MS has made it quite clear that you really can''t/shouldn''t use the primary buffer anymore, this allows for hardware company''s to optimize their designs better. Why after all they spout at you to not use it, would you want to use it?

Sorry, I see in your code you just posted that you''re using DX7 not DX8 like you state in the topic... Ignore my post then because it does not pertain to DX8.

Yes, I''m using DX7 but it''s the DX8 SDK. I use DX7 because I
only have books about DX7. The way to initialize DX8 confuses
me but it''s still working under W2000.

HRESULT InitDirectDraw( HWND hWnd ){    HRESULT             hr;    LPDIRECTDRAWPALETTE pDDPal = NULL;     int                 iSprite;    g_pDisplay = new CDisplay();    if( FAILED( hr = g_pDisplay->CreateFullScreenDisplay( hWnd, SCREEN_WIDTH,                                                           SCREEN_HEIGHT, SCREEN_BPP ) ) )    {        MessageBox( hWnd, TEXT("This display card does not support 640x480x8. "),                    TEXT("DirectDraw Sample"), MB_ICONERROR | MB_OK );        return hr;    }    // Create and set the palette when in palettized color    if( FAILED( hr = g_pDisplay->CreatePaletteFromBitmap( &pDDPal, MAKEINTRESOURCE( IDB_DIRECTX ) ) ) )        return hr;    if( FAILED( hr = g_pDisplay->SetPalette( pDDPal ) ) )        return hr;    SAFE_RELEASE( pDDPal );    // Create a surface, and draw a bitmap resource on it.      if( FAILED( hr = g_pDisplay->CreateSurfaceFromBitmap( &g_pLogoSurface, MAKEINTRESOURCE( IDB_DIRECTX ),                                                           SPRITE_DIAMETER, SPRITE_DIAMETER ) ) )        return hr;    // Create a surface, and draw text to it.      if( FAILED( hr = g_pDisplay->CreateSurfaceFromText( &g_pTextSurface, NULL, HELPTEXT,                                                         RGB(0,0,0), RGB(255, 255, 0) ) ) )        return hr;    // Set the color key for the logo sprite to black    if( FAILED( hr = g_pLogoSurface->SetColorKey( 0 ) ) )        return hr;    // Init all the sprites.  All of these sprites look the same,     // using the g_pDDSLogo surface.     for( iSprite = 0; iSprite < NUM_SPRITES; iSprite++ )    {        // Set the sprite''s position and velocity        g_Sprite[iSprite].fPosX = (float) (rand() % SCREEN_WIDTH);        g_Sprite[iSprite].fPosY = (float) (rand() % SCREEN_HEIGHT);         g_Sprite[iSprite].fVelX = 500.0f * rand() / RAND_MAX - 250.0f;        g_Sprite[iSprite].fVelY = 500.0f * rand() / RAND_MAX - 250.0f;    }    return S_OK;}

Another interesting point I figured out, when I only create a Primary Surface without Back Surface it works. But without a
Back Surface I can''t do what I want. Hope that someone can help
me.
