DX9 Not Displaying Bitmaps
I am reading a book called "Begining Game Programming", and I got to the part where you start displaying bitmaps through the use of a game loop. It comes with a CD so I took the source code from their and put it into my compiler MSVC 7.1. It says to save it with a .c extension not a .cpp (I dont know if this matters). So I save it with a .c . I put the bitmap in my resource folder in the solution explorer, and then put the code in (pasted) When I run it, it comes up with the window, but no bitmaps. Anyone know why this is?
Code:
// Beginning Game Programming
// Chapter 4
// GameLoop project
#include <windows.h>
#include <winuser.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#define APPTITLE "Game Loop"
//function prototypes

void Game_End();
//local variables
HWND global_hwnd;
HDC global_hdc;
//the window event callback function
LRESULT CALLBACK WinProc(HWND hWnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
global_hwnd = hWnd;
global_hdc = GetDC(hWnd);
switch (message)
{
case WM_DESTROY:
Game_End();
PostQuitMessage(0);
break;
}
return DefWindowProc(hWnd, message, wParam, lParam);
}
//helper function to set up the window properties

EDIT- LOL! I got it now, it was an incorrect path to the .bmp, i created one from inside the IDE and now it works. Peace.
