Access Violation with ID3DEffect::FindNextValidTechnique()
Author
I'm back, trying to figure something out using the debugger, but the debugger is giving me problems with stuff I didn't think had problems.
It keeps having and Access Violation (I assume a bad pointer) with this line of code.
strange is when running the program normally without the debugger, the function call return D3D_OK, and I can use the D3DXHANDLE in the next function SetTechnique which also returns ok.
I would think your compiler should have complained. And I wouldn't think it would be the cause of the access violation but effect.technique should be D3DXHANDLE, not LPD3DXHANDLE.
The 2nd argument to FindNextValidTechnique should be D3DXHANDLE*, not LPD3DXHANDLE*.
Also, is effect.effect the pointer to a valid ID3DXEFFECT?

sorry I meant D3DXHANDLE not LPD... Are there ways to tell if LPD3DXEFFECT actually points to a valid effect?
The create function passes D3D_OK, and effect != NULL... I'm unaware of annother way to tell if it's valid. It shouldn't be loosing scope either cause it's all in the same function outside and { } brackets that my change its scope.

Good!
Re: "validity" of effect.effect - sorry, a return of S_OK and not being NULL is all you need.
I agree, it won't go out of scope. If it did, your compiler should recognize that (hopefully).
You say when you're not in debug mode, you don't get the violation? It's usually the other way 'round [smile]
In debug mode, you do get the access violation and the program is interrupted by the debugger? Correct?
Just for fun, you may want to precede you FindNextValidTechnique call with a check for effect.effect not being NULL and see what you get in debug mode.

Tried that already and nothing.
if (effect.effect == NULL) log("Effect NULL");else log("Effect !NULL");Effect wasn't null.
Can you try a different effect file to create your effect.effect?
Perhaps you should post your code for creating the ID3DXEFFECT (one of D3DXCreateEffect, D3DXCreateEffectFromFile, or D3DXCreateEffectFromResource, right?).

I think DirectX didn't like the way I was representing the ID3DXEFFECT object.
for some reason it was that syntax that was causing problems, I've decided to go a simple route and using id's instead of pointer to accessing the effects like so
Now my new problem, is when using more than one effect in a scene, only the last effect in the scene shows up, anything effected by previous effects comes out all white?
In the above image, the background uses one effect, the rest uses annother.
heres the effects, they're exactly the same, just the second one, increases the pixels, red color.
first effect
the second effect that alters the red channel

//I had the effect in a struct like sostruct s{ LPD3DXEFFECT *effect;}// wich pointed to an effect file store in a std::vector// to use the effect object I was derefrenceing it like so(*effect)->something;for some reason it was that syntax that was causing problems, I've decided to go a simple route and using id's instead of pointer to accessing the effects like so
