    Problem with DrawText (DirectX9)

    Im trying to compile http://www.codeproject.com/directx/d...&select=146195 with Microsoft Visual C++ 6

    But its giving me

    --------------------Configuration: project - Win32 Debug--------------------
    Compiling...
    dx9_fonts.cpp
    C:\Sander\dx9_fonts\dx9_fonts.cpp(201) : error C2660: 'D3DXCreateFont' : function does not take 12 parameters
    C:\Sander\dx9_fonts\dx9_fonts.cpp(248) : error C2660: 'DrawTextA' : function does not take 6 parameters
    C:\Sander\dx9_fonts\dx9_fonts.cpp(251) : error C2660: 'DrawTextA' : function does not take 6 parameters
    C:\Sander\dx9_fonts\dx9_fonts.cpp(254) : error C2660: 'DrawTextA' : function does not take 6 parameters
    Error executing cl.exe.

    project.exe - 4 error(s), 0 warning(s)
    Why? In MSDN D3DXCreateFont does have 12 params...

    Is there an easy way to do something like DrawText but then in OpenGL?

    Your most likely cause for these errors is that your version of the SDK is either more updated than the code (or vice versa) and the updates contain altered function parameters. Check your local help files (not the online help which may differ), and if in doubt, locate the actual functions in question in the SDK and inspect the calling parameters.
