Hi People! I just start with directx and tried allready to make a fullscreenwindow. Without success! I searched allready in this GameDev Sites for an answer to my fullscreenproblem. I think it''s a very simple problem. I hope you out there can post back and write some helpful(easy) code or a good link where I could learn this. TNX to all posts: C.Ruiz

TNX for the "Link"!
Ok, now I have other problem.
Probably it''s very basic, too.
Here is my sourcecode:
///////////////////////////

LRESULT CALLBACK MsgHandler(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wparam, LPARAM lparam)
{
return(DefWindowProc(hwnd, msg, wparam, lparam));
}

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hinstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{

LRESULT CALLBACK MsgHandler(
HWND hwnd, // window handle
UINT msg, // the message identifier
WPARAM wparam, // message parameters
LPARAM lparam // more message parameters
);


BOOL PeekMessage(
LPMSG lpMsg, // pointer to structure for message
HWND hWnd, // handle to window
UINT wMsgFilterMin, // first message
UINT wMsgFilterMax, // last message
UINT wRemoveMsg // removal flags
);

BOOL TranslateMessage(CONST MSG *lpmsg);
LONG DispatchMessage(CONST MSG *lpmsg);

if (PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE))
{
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}

BOOL PostMessage(
HWND hWnd, // handle of destination window
UINT Msg, // message to post
WPARAM wParam, // first message parameter
LPARAM lParam // second message parameter
);


typedef struct _WNDCLASSEX {
UINT cbSize;
UINT style;
WNDPROC lpfnWndProc;
int cbClsExtra;
int cbWndExtra;
HANDLE hInstance;
HICON hIcon;
HCURSOR hCursor;
HBRUSH hbrBackground;
LPCTSTR lpszMenuName;
LPCTSTR lpszClassName;
HICON hIconSm;
} WNDCLASSEXX;


WNDCLASSEX sampleClass; // declare structure variable

sampleClass.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX); // always use this!
sampleClass.style = CS_DBLCLKS | CS_OWNDC |
CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW; // standard settings
sampleClass.lpfnWndProc = MsgHandler; // we need to write this!
sampleClass.cbClsExtra = 0; // extra class info, not used
sampleClass.cbWndExtra = 0; // extra window info, not used
sampleClass.hInstance = hinstance; // parameter passed to WinMain()
sampleClass.hIcon = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_WINLOGO); // Windows logo
sampleClass.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW); // standard cursor
sampleClass.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(BLACK_BRUSH); // a simple black brush
sampleClass.lpszMenuName = NULL; // no menu
sampleClass.lpszClassName = "Sample Class" ; // class name
sampleClass.hIconSm = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_WINLOGO); // Windows logo again


RegisterClassEx(&sampleClass);

HWND CreateWindowEx(
DWORD dwExStyle, // extended window style
LPCTSTR lpClassName, // pointer to registered class name
LPCTSTR lpWindowName, // pointer to window name
DWORD dwStyle, // window style
int x, // horizontal position of window
int y, // vertical position of window
int nWidth, // window width
int nHeight, // window height
HWND hWndParent, // handle to parent or owner window
HMENU hMenu, // handle to menu, or child-window identifier
HINSTANCE hInstance, // handle to application instance
LPVOID lpParam // pointer to window-creation data
);

HWND hwnd;

if (!(hwnd = CreateWindowEx(NULL, // extended style, not needed
"Sample Class", // class identifier
"Sample Window", // window title
WS_POPUP | WS_VISIBLE, // parameters
0, 0, 320, 240, // initial position, size
NULL, // handle to parent (the desktop)
NULL, // handle to menu (none)
hinstance, // application instance handle
NULL))) // who needs it?
return(0);
else
return(1);

It gives me some errors.
redefinition; different type modifiers
in PeekMessage, TranslateMessage, DispatchMessageA, PostMessageA, CreateWindowExA

and a ''msg'' : undeclared identifier
I have VC++ 5.0
Hope you can help me.

I''m not even going to start. You''re code is all wrong!
I suggest you get a Windows API and C++ book fast before you
go insane with error messages.

i agree with botkiller......get a book or read some articles on programming (basic) first.
And dont say you have if that is the code you are trying to use. That is obviously cut and pasted from various places.

Why are you prototyping Windows API functions?

Winprog has a good Windows programming tutorial.
