    Directx and MSVC++

    Hi all,

    I've recently started to have a look at Direct X and installed the SDK.

    Everything is fine except it never shows me function prototypes and struct members etc. Also unless i use the wizard i have to manually link the d3d library, but using the wizard i don't seem to be able to make an empty project. How can i fix these two things?

    Thanks.

    OS: Windows XP
    Compiler: MSVC

    what version of msvc?
    for c++.net

    1 - you need to search the DirectX sdk for all your prototypes and functions.
    When you use them in your code then they will show up in your source window listing all the pram, and overloaded functions. or varables depending on what your using at the moment

    tools > options > c/c++ > general. i think. might be different.

    2 - Project > Property. Click 'Linker' > Input
    Additional Dependencies to add your lib files

    3 - an empty project.
    File > new > project. click vc++ projects > .NET . look in the list and you'll see 'Empty Project'
    hope this helps
