I am going through Tricks of Windows Game Programming Gurus and have got to chapter 6 which deals with setting up DirectDraw. Now everything was fine until I tryed to create a primary surface. As always I am stuck
. So if any of you would be kind enough to help me again(im retarded) I would be verry greatful.
anyway heres the code:
// DirectX setup *********************************************************************************
LPDIRECTDRAW7 lpdd7 = NULL;
LPDIRECTDRAWPALETTE lpddPal = NULL;
LPDIRECTDRAWSURFACE7 lpddsPrimary = NULL;
DDSURFACEDESC2 ddsd;
// MS recommends clearing out struct
memset(&ddsd, 0, sizeof(ddsd));
ddsd.dwSize = sizeof(ddsd);
ddsd.dwFlags = DDSD_CAPS;
ddsd.ddsCaps.dwCaps = DDSCAPS_PRIMARYSURFACE;
// GameInit **************************************************************************************
int GameInit(void *parms, int iNumParms){
// Initialize here
int i; // loop counter
// Create Palette for use with 256 color//////////////////////////
PALETTEENTRY pePalette[256];
// fill pallette with color
for(i = 0; i < 256; i++)
{
pePalette[i].peRed = i;
pePalette[i].peGreen = i;
pePalette[i].peBlue = i;
pePalette[i].peFlags = PC_NOCOLLAPSE;
}// end for
// Init DDraw ///////////////////////////////////////////////////
if(FAILED(DirectDrawCreateEx(NULL, (void**)&lpdd7, IID_IDirectDraw7, NULL)))
{
//error
ErrorMsg("DirectDrawCreateEx Failed");
return(0);
}// end if
if(FAILED(lpdd7->SetCooperativeLevel(gMainHWND,
DDSCL_FULLSCREEN | DDSCL_ALLOWMODEX |
DDSCL_EXCLUSIVE | DDSCL_ALLOWREBOOT)))
{
//error
ErrorMsg("Failed to set windows cooperation level");
return(0);
}
if(FAILED(lpdd7->SetDisplayMode(gdwScreenWidth, gdwScreenHeight,
gdwScreenBPP, gdwScreenRefresh, 0)))
{
//error
ErrorMsg("Failed to set Display Mode");
return(0);
}
// Initialize our palette ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
if(FAILED(lpdd7->CreatePalette(DDPCAPS_8BIT | DDPCAPS_ALLOW256 | DDPCAPS_INITIALIZE,
pePalette, &lpddPal, NULL)))
{
//error
ErrorMsg("Failed to Create Color Palette");
return(0);
}
// Create primary surface
if(FAILED(lpdd7->CreateSurface(&ddsd, &lpddsPrimary, NULL)))
{
//error
ErrorMsg("Could not create primary surface");
}
return(0);
}// end GameInit
// GameShutDown **********************************************************************************
int GameShutDown(void *parms, int iNumParms){
if(lpdd7)
{
lpdd7->Release();
lpdd7 = NULL;
}// end if
if(lpddPal)
{
lpddPal->Release();
lpddPal = NULL;
}
if(lpddsPrimary)
{
lpddsPrimary->Release();
lpddsPrimary = NULL;
}
return(0);
}// end GameShutDown
and here is the error:

---------------------------------------------------------------
if I take out the memset line in my code the top 3 errors go away, but I don't think leaving that out would be good, and I'm stumped on the rest of them. So if any of you know the answer to this I would be greatly appreciative.
p.s. Thanks to everyone who has taken time to answer my questions in the past.
