Direct Draw Windowed
Author
Hello everybody,
I am currently working on a small level-editor.
So I want to use direct draw to draw my map.
The level-editor should be in a 640x480 window.
I use the winapi to create the window(WS_OVERLAPPED).
Now I initialized ddraw correctly,
but when I want to blit the surface
with my bitmap on it to an offscreen surface my app crashes.
The debugger says that something is wrong with this line:
////////////////////
lpddsbackbuffer->Blt(&rcBitmap,lpddsbitmap,NULL,DDBLT_WAIT,NULL );
////////////////////
lpddsbackbuffer is my "backbuffer" and rcBitmap the
destination rect(0,0,200,50).
After this line I write the following line:
///////////////////
lpddsprimary->Blt(&rcScreen,lpddsbackbuffer,NULL, DDBLT_WAIT, NULL );
//////////////////
Perhaps someone now how to solve my problem! :-)
Thanks in advance!

Could you post some of the rest of your code involving the surface creation? That would probably help.

Here is the complete sourcecode
including the executable,the bitmap and the workspace.
You have to rename the file in mapededitor-source.rar.
Here is the link:

Your problem may be that since you have a back buffer, you''re trying to flip() the surface to the front. You can''t do this when you use windowed mode. My screen name on Instant Messenger (or AOL) is ImmigrantMarbles. EMail is VChelaru@hotmail.com. I just wrote a similar program and may be able to help.

The link isn''t working right... the page loads but there is no picture. I saved the file to my hard drive, but still no luck loading it. Could you please post the source as a text file or something?
Anyway, if you are using flip(), Pee Wee is right, that does cause problems in windowed mode. But I thought you were just doing a massive blt() from the backbuffer, in which case there should be no problem.

P.S.: I don`t use flip() I blit the backbuffer on the primary
surface.

I just quickly glanced at your source code but i believe u did not initialize your rcScreen in your init function. nor did you return the values. try making the program in one file before u try to separate it out. Again i could be wrong.
And why different window sizes?
Create_Window(main_hwnd,hInstance,640,480);
ddraw_init(main_hwnd,1024,740);
the program seems to be over simplifed right now... make it work then make it simple. Bad coding practice in general but in this case i think it is essential.
