If your run loop has a good ResetDevice() routine, you don't have do anything in windowed mode or full screen.

if( bWindowed ) {	m_PresentParameters.Windowed = TRUE;	m_PresentParameters.BackBufferWidth = windowClientWidth;	m_PresentParameters.BackBufferHeight = windowClientHeight;        ...} else {	//Find out desktop resolution:	D3DDISPLAYMODE DisplayMode;	m_pD3D->GetAdapterDisplayMode(D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT, &DisplayMode);	//set fullscreen parameters	m_PresentParameters.BackBufferFormat = D3DFMT_A8R8G8B8;	m_PresentParameters.Windowed = FALSE;        m_PresentParameters.BackBufferWidth = DisplayMode.Width;        m_PresentParameters.BackBufferHeight = DisplayMode.Height;        ...}

EDIT: IMHO, in windowed mode, the window belongs to the user and if he wants to resize it, that's up to him.

A recalculation of fAspect should be done in any case and that should take care of the presentation in most apps.

Well, you don't have to, but then the backbuffer will get squeezed or stretched in the mismatched sized window.

Are you sure? I've not seen this happening - I thought D3D changes the display mode to suit, and ignores the window size.

It's probably still a good idea to resize the window anyway, just to keep fullscreen and windowed mode code the same.

I'm talking about windowed mode, just so we're clear. If you Reset() with a BackBufferWidth and Height different than the window size, it will stretch the backbuffer on the window. Of course, using 0 for both is easy and will ensure a perfect fit. But nothing DirectX does seem capable of resizing the window.

And I don't think the window size matters in full-screen mode.

That's a true statement, but.. why would you do that?

Even if the screen resolution changes, the window size in pixels remains that same unless the screen resolution is smaller than the window size.
