I've been learning some C++, but I'm really interested in VB. I want to try out some basic DirectX stuff, but I don't know how to get it into my program! Do I have to download anything or does Visual Basic 6 Standard come with the files I need. And when I get the files (or if I already have them), what do I do to enabld DirectX into my program. I want to use DirectX 8.1. I think VB6 supports it... I've started Downloading the DX8.1 SDK. I'm pretty sure that's what I need... Thanks [edited by - Jackysan on July 21, 2002 11:17:09 AM] [edited by - Jackysan on July 21, 2002 11:38:38 AM]

If your learning c++ and having no trouble then I see no reason to mess with visual basic. Before you can learn directx you need to learn windows programming and c++ atleast to the point where you''re very comfortable with classes and pointers because dx and windows uses them extensively. This here site your posting on contains a great deal of tutorials to show you everything you need to know to get up and running if your ready.
