Hi, there... I'm new here, so be patient... I'm working in a project with C and DirectX. Before you say that, I know that Cpp is a really better choice to work with DirectX but I actually prefer C and I'd like to learn how to work with DirectX in that language. My problem is that, tough I can run Direct3D, I simply couldn't access the member functions to set the scene and render. I believe the problem is the way I'm working with COM. Here goes the code I created to test Direct3D bulding a simple blue window (only the funtions that initialize and set DirectX) and the errors I received from VC++6. If you can help me, please, do that...

No need to correct you, as you are absolute right.

Thank you, guys.

But the fact is that I had never worked explicitaly with COM before this project so I had no idea of that. I'm gonna test. Thanks again.
