Hi there! I''m trying to code a nice DirectDraw class, but I''ve run into some weird problems. I''m still fairly new to C++, but I checked my syntax thoroughly and to me it looks like good code but it simply won''t compile... Here''s the code... Graphics.h:

#ifndef GRAPHICS_H
#define GRAPHICS_H

#include <windows.h>
#include <ddraw.h>

class ddGraphics
{
public:
	ddGraphics(HINSTANCE hInstance, int iCmdShow);
	~ddGraphics();
private:
	HWND				 hWnd;
	WNDCLASSEX			 WndClass;
	HRESULT				 ddReturn;
	LPDIRECTDRAW7		 lpDD;
	LPDIRECTDRAWSURFACE7 lpDDSPrimary;
	LPDIRECTDRAWSURFACE7 lpDDSBack;
	DDSURFACEDESC2		 ddSurfDesc;
	DDSCAPS2			 ddSurfCaps;

	HWND			 CreateDDWindow(HINSTANCE hInstance);
	HRESULT			 CreateDDObject(HWND hWnd);
	LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProc(HWND hWnd, UINT iMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);
};

#endif // GRAPHICS_H

Graphics.c:

#include "Graphics.h"

ddGraphics::ddGraphics(HINSTANCE hInstance, int iCmdShow)
{
	ddReturn = CreateDDObject(CreateDDWindow(hInstance, iCmdShow));
}

ddGraphics::~ddGraphics()
{
	if (lpDD != NULL)
	{
		if (lpDDSPrimary != NULL)
		{
			lpDDSPrimary->Release();
			lpDDSPrimary = NULL;
		}

		if (lpDDSBack != NULL)
		{
			lpDDSBack->Release();
			lpDDSBack = NULL;
		}

		lpDD->Release();
		lpDD = NULL;
	}
}

HWND ddGraphics::CreateDDWindow(HINSTANCE hInstance, int iCmdShow)
{
	static char szAppName[] = "ddClass";
	hWnd = NULL;
	
	WndClass.cbSize		   = sizeof(WndClass);
	WndClass.style		   = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW;
	WndClass.lpfnWndProc   = WindowProc;
	WndClass.cbClsExtra    = 0;
	WndClass.cbWndExtra    = 0;
	WndClass.hInstance     = hInstance;
	WndClass.hIcon         = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);
	WndClass.hCursor       = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
	WndClass.lpszMenuName  = NULL;
	WndClass.lpszClassName = szAppName;
	WndClass.hIconSm       = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);
	WndClass.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(BLACK_BRUSH);
	RegisterClassEx(&WndClass);

	hWnd = CreateWindow(szAppName, szAppName, WS_POPUP, CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, 640, 480, NULL, NULL, hInstance, NULL);
	ShowWindow(hWnd, iCmdShow);
	UpdateWindow(hWnd);

	return hWnd;
}

HRESULT ddGraphics::CreateDDObject(hWnd)
{
	ddReturn = DirectDrawCreateEx(NULL, (LPVOID*)&lpDD, IID_IDirectDraw7, NULL);
	if(ddReturn != DD_OK) return ddReturn;

	ddReturn = lpDD->SetCooperativeLevel(hWnd, DDSCL_EXCLUSIVE | DDSCL_FULLSCREEN);
	if(ddReturn != DD_OK) return ddReturn;

	ddReturn = lpDD->SetDisplayMode(640, 480, 16, 0, 0);
	if(ddReturn != DD_OK) return ddReturn;

	ZeroMemory(&ddSurfDesc, sizeof(ddSurfDesc));
	ddSurfDesc.dwSize = sizeof(ddSurfDesc);
	ddSurfDesc.dwFlags = DDSD_CAPS | DDSD_BACKBUFFERCOUNT;
	ddSurfDesc.ddsCaps.dwCaps = DDSCAPS_PRIMARYSURFACE | DDSCAPS_FLIP | DDSCAPS_COMPLEX;
	ddSurfDesc.dwBackBufferCount = 1;

	ddReturn = lpDD->CreateSurface(&ddSurfDesc, &lpDDSPrimary, NULL);
	if(ddReturn != DD_OK) return ddReturn;

	ZeroMemory(&ddSurfCaps, sizeof(ddSurfCaps));
	ddSurfCaps.dwCaps = DDSCAPS_BACKBUFFER;
	ddReturn = lpDDSPrimary->GetAttachedSurface(&ddSurfCaps, &lpDDSBack);
	if(ddReturn != DD_OK) return ddReturn;

	return DD_OK;
}

LRESULT CALLBACK ddGraphics::WindowProc(HWND hWnd, UINT iMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
	switch (iMsg)
	{
	case WM_DESTROY:
		PostQuitMessage(0);
		return 0;
	}

	return DefWindowProc(hWnd, iMsg, wParam, lParam);
}

Main.c:

#include <windows.h>
#include "Graphics.h"

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int iCmdShow);
{
	ddGraphics * cDD = new ddGraphics(hInstance, iCmdShow);
	delete cDD;
	cDD = NULL;
	return 0;
}

And here are the errors: --------------------Configuration: ddClass - Win32 Debug-------------------- Compiling...

Is there something wrong the the class declaration? Please help me out here...! Greetz, MainForze PS: Sorry for the long post.

Your files are named .c, rename them to .cpp if you are using c++. Also loose the semicolon at the end of the WinMain-line in main.cpp.

Also, use the [source] [/source] tags for (long) code when posting here on GameDev.
