    How can I draw a simple JPG or BMP in DirectX 9.0 (C++) ??

    Hi, how can I draw a BMP or a JPEG with C++ using DirectX 9.0? I know how to draw text, but not an image...

    Someone can help me out?

    Well, I can't find it for DX9... (probably I'm too dumb, and I'm missing something)

    LegendBreath: The differences between DX8 and DX9 when it comes to this kind of thing aren't particularly huge. You could read up on some tutorials for DX8, and then play with the DX9 sdk to try and implement what you've learned. Alternatively, you could to go sites such as Ultimate Game Programming, Drunken Hyena or 32Bits.co.uk and have a read through the large collection of tutorials on each of those sites.

    Not knowing how to make this work doesn't make you "too dumb" at all, it just means you have something to learn! So check out the links and read the tutorials, they're very helpful.

    UnclePunker: I was running out of time to write a full explanation. So rather than give a half-hearted answer, I decided to point out a few resources while making the point that searching can yield much faster results than posting to forums with questions such as this. I was not "being like that" at all, so would you kindly not imply that I'm being nasty

    Cheers.

    Fair enough. Your second explanation of the situation was a much nicer and more coherent way of saying he could find out more using the power of google than saying "Learn to search". But I apologise for getting the wrong end of the stick.

    No problems I can understand how it might have sounded harsh given the shortness of my response, so no offence taken

    Cheers guys!
