Hello, I'm using c++ DirectX 9.0c I am creating a function for graphics device that draws a dot on the screen. I am using the function: DrawPrimitiveUP. This works for drawing points onto the screen, but when I draw textures they draw right over the dots, even when I have the draw dot code after the draw image code. I would like the dots to be drawn to the back buffer in the order that I draw it, not always on the bottom. I would appreciate any advice on how to do this. Here is my snippet: int GraphicsDevice::DrawPoint( CFLOAT x, CFLOAT y) { PointInfo p; p.x = x; p.y = y; p.z = 1.0f; p.color = D3DCOLOR_XRGB(rand()%255,rand()%255,rand()%255);; d3dDevice->DrawPrimitiveUP( D3DPT_POINTLIST, 1, &p, sizeof(p)); return 1; } Thanks, Derek

Hi, same thing happens. I don't have a z buffer.

Yep, sorry. What I meant was that I used the default z buffer when I create the device. But, when I disable it, it still draws the point underneath a texture which (using a sprite) I call to draw before the point.

My code is like this:

ClearBuffer()
BeginScene()

DrawImage()
DrawPoints()

EndScene()

The points can be seen until the image is over top of it, so for some reason the points are always drawing first which doesn't make sense.

Is there another way I can draw points besides using DrawPrimitiveUP ?

Thanks,
Derek
