I used a book in a pdf to try and create a cube and then move it on the screen.. but Im getting something wrong.. tried reading again and again but no luck..Im just getting a blue square at the top left of the screen if someone can please help:

FLOAT x, y, z, rhw; // the transformed, 3D position for the vertex
You're using transformed vertices - I.e. you're giving positions in 2D screen space. If you want to draw a cube, you'll want full 3D vertices with a complete set of transform matrices.
Have a look on Google for some D3D tutorials, or your PDF might cover it a bit later on.

Im using D3DFVF_XYZRHW | D3DFVF_XYZRHW format for the verices at the moment which other ones should I use in order for it to be really 3d out of these:

D3DFVF_XYZ
D3DFVF_XYZRHW
D3DFVF_XYZW
D3DFVF_NORMAL
D3DFVF_PSIZE
D3DFVF_XYZRHW
D3DFVF_SPECULAR
D3DFVF_TEX0
D3DFVF_TEX1
D3DFVF_TEX2
D3DFVF_TEX3
D3DFVF_TEX4
D3DFVF_TEX5
D3DFVF_TEX6
D3DFVF_TEX7
D3DFVF_TEX8

the pdf-book is using this:
struct CUSTOMVERTEX{FLOAT x, y, z; // the untransformed, 3D position for the vertexDWORD color; // the color of the vertex};




pd3dDevice->CreateVertexBuffer(sizeof(g_Vertices) * sizeof(CUSTOMVERTEX),0,D3DFVF_CUSTOMVERTEX,//<--- and this gives me an undefined errorD3DPOOL_DEFAULT,&vertexBuffer,NULL );




thanks for the help
Use D3DFVF_XYZ if you want geometry to be passed through the transform & lighting parts of the pipeline.

D3DFVF_XYZRHW is your way of saying to D3D "I've already processed this data, leave it alone and just send it straight to the screen".

tried it like this:

pd3dDevice->CreateVertexBuffer(	sizeof(g_Vertices)*sizeof(customV),	0,	D3DFVF_XYZ | D3DFVF_DIFFUSE,	D3DPOOL_DEFAULT,	&buffer,	NULL );


and it's giving me a red square at the top left corner of the screen this time
what am I doing wrong?

Have you updated the SetFVF call in your render function to match?

You're not setting a view or projection matrix.

Try adding something like this (Off the top of my head) before your first DrawPrimitive() call (There are better places to put it but this'll do for simplicity's sake):
D3DXMATRIX mat;D3DXMatrixPerspectiveFovLH(&mat, 1.04719755f, // 60 degrees in radians   640.0f/480.0f, 0.1f, 1000.0f);pd3dDevice->SetTransform(D3DTS_PROJECTION, &mat);D3DXVECTOR3 vEye(0.0f, 0.0f, -300.0f);D3DXVECTOR3 vAt(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);D3DXVECTOR3 vUp(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);D3DXMatrixLookAtLH(&mat, &vEye, &vAt, &vUp);pd3dDevice->SetTransform(D3DTS_VIEW, &mat);
I imagine that as you're not setting up any transforms, it's interpreting your vertex coordinates as clip-space coordinates, which would make them waaay outside of the screen. I'd recommend setting up projection and view transforms.

Added it and now Im getting a big black square in the middle of the screen(why is it black ?)
but at least my translation works:

D3DXMatrixIdentity(&matFinal);D3DXMatrixTranslation(&matTranslate, 64.0f, 80.0f,80.0f);D3DXMatrixMultiply(&matFinal, &matFinal, &matTranslate);pd3dDevice->SetTransform(D3DTS_WORLD, &matFinal);
