Quick multimedia question
What is the name of the multimedia header file that lets you use direct draw??? Thanks in advance
it used to be ddraw.h. However, it has been nixed and has been thrown into Direct3D. To use that you'll need d3d9.h, and don't forget to link with the d3d9.lib. It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to use d3dx9core.h and link to d3dx9.lib, or the dxerr9 files either.
This is all assuming you're using DirectX 9 of course
Thanks for giving me the help, but it doesn't work, my compiler's main error is "d3dx9core.h: No such file or directory.", I understand the error, but don't know how to get round it...
Either you do not have your compiler set up correctly, or you do not have the file. You might be able to get around using the file at all. If you do need it and do not have the file, look here http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/ for the DirectX SDK installer. It installs all of the documents, as well as the needed files.
