Compilation Errors: SDK Examples in MSVC++ 6.0
Author
I opened the .dsw files in MSVC but they won''t compile. None of the updated directX structures are recognized,( "LPDIRECTDRAWSURFACE7" and many of the other strucs from newer verions). I am running DX 8.0, I''m unaware of why I should be having difficulty with this...
Anyone have an idea what might cause this?

Which headers? Did you upgrade to the 8.0 SDK as well, or only the runtimes?
If you upgraded the SDK, DirectDraw has been subsumed into Direct3D. You can still obtain DX7-specific interfaces, however, by explicitly defining which version of the SDK to work with:
#define D3DSDK_VERSION 0x0700 or something like that. You should then be able to query for a DirectDraw interface as usual.
It''s in the docs - read them.

The documentation is HUUUUGE. Are there certain regions which contain little goldmines of information that i should know? Or should i devote a month to reading it all? At first glance I thought the documentation was written by microsoft''s marketing team, not the programmers.

Just add the lib dxguid.lib to your project, it should permit you to compile DX7 code with the dx8 SDK
