Thread: Return Interface: problem

Im using this function to return the used interface for d3d (after initing it.):

Code:

void RTIntObj::ReturnD3D (IDirect3D8** Returned)
{
   if (!g->GeneralDX.d3d8==NULL)
        ReturnedObject = &g->GeneralDX.d3d8;

}

But it doesnt work, as it crashes my app. What should i change in my function? thanks!

Try -

*ReturnedObject = &g->GeneralDX.d3d8;

It didnt work, it shows me errors:

Code:

error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'struct IDirect3D8 ** ' to 'struct IDirect3D8 *'
        Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast
error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'struct IDirect3DDevice8 ** ' to 'struct IDirect3DDevice8 *'
        Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast

What does g->GeneralDX.d3d8 return?

What do you mean? the 'd3d8' is a valid IDirect3D8 pointer.

In that case -

*ReturnedObject = g->GeneralDX.d3d8;

You'll always have to de-reference the pointer to pointer otherwise your attempted return of an address will go out of scope.

Ohh! It works! I didnt imagine it was so easy. Thank you very much
