why it identifies only IDirectDraw and not IDirectDraw7?
Author
i guess the question says it all
i havd DX8
i included ddraw.h
but it still defies the existance of IDirectDraw7,
IDirectDrawSurface7 ect.
i have a full program working w/IDirectDraw
does it mean it works w/older code?
should i bother poking around for IDirectDraw7 to work?
help?

this problem has happened to a lotta people, including me. visual c++ (and other compilers i think) already have directx libraries included in the Compiler.../include and .../lib directories. just replace them with the new ones.
u see, the compiler looks in the standard libraries first, even if u tell it to look in other folders for ur new files. hope this helps

In VC++ you can go to Tools->Options->Directories
enter the directx sdk include and lib directory in there and move them up above the VC entries this way VC++ will look in your directx directories first

Because
DX8 is slower then DX7
DX7 that is slower than DX6
DX6 is slower then DX5
....etc etc
Every new version of DX has more features but is also a lot slower then the previous version,
Hopefully The New PC Hardware will help solve this new dumb programmers problem ...until a certin point....

No, later versions of DX are NOT slower than old ones. Hardware drivers are tuned for the version of DX that was available at the time. Get the latest drivers for your card.
