Hi does anybody know how I make a texture transparent (colokey) in D3D ? ... It is easy in Direct Draw, but now I need to make it in D3D, and the closest I can get i alpha blending. My textures are loaded from a .bmp file, where I use black as my colorkey. I think that I have my alpha blending operations set up correct, BUT I need to tell directx that it is black that is my colokey. Regards JB

For surfaces created with DDSCAPS_TEXTURE parameter use IDirectDrawSurface7::SetColorKey method.

Based off these project options settings can any one tell why i get this linker error
[Linker Fatal Error] Fatal: Unable to open file ''ODBCCP32.LIB''
