bitmap loading function...need help
Author
Okay, I have this bitmap loading function that uses direct x and the Windows GDI to load a bitmap to a surface (in this case, lpddstest). I can compile it error free, but when I try to execute it, I get this error:
--------------------Configuration: bitmaps - Win32 Debug--------------------
Linking...
bitmaps.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _IID_IDirectDraw7
Debug/bitmaps.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.
bitmaps.exe - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)
you can download the cpp file here. Please help me out if you know what''s wrong.
Thanks

I have this problem constantly.
Its because I''m a moron and always forget to link
in dxguid.lib
remember all your id symbols for directx are deposited there.
(Unfortunately the directx docs never mention it in any place
I''ve seen)

Okay, well, now I can execute it, but I can''t get the image to show up! If anyone with some experience in this area can help me, I''d appreciate it. I added in the line:
to test out if the blitting worked (if it doesn''t it returns 0 in the Game_Main and thus breaks the main loop). Obviously there is something wrong, not quite sure what it is though. I uploaded the code here: bitmaps.cpp.

why don''t you use the ddutil.cpp/.h source file from the dx sdk. for loading bitmaps, it always works!
