So, I am trying to get back to using DirectX with C++ from C# with XNA.
I am following the tutorials on
Druinksoft and I am trying to implement the fullscreen swap in tutorial 3.
Using the code from the website, when I try to go to fullscreen, it
swaps resolution and then just sits there. No spinning triangle, just
nothing. When I try to exit it, it won't exit. After using task manager
to end the process, a error window pops up on the screen saying
something about a heap overflow or a user pressed F12 (which I didnt).
After fiddling around trying to get my resolution back to normal, I saw
this error in the output window..
"Lost Device Due to Display Uniqueness Change" from the DirectX Debug spew.
After searching around a bit, I come across this
thread
and it says something about having to use Vista's DX9 extensions. It
also says, I will lose compatibility with XP if I use them, which I
don't want. It does suggest checking WINVER before creating the device
as an answer.
Basically, that thread is a bit dated and was wondering if there is a
way around this issue. I would also like to keep using the debug
runtime has they are handy. Should I just not use fullscreen until I am
done with my project?
Any help/advice would be great! Thanks!
P.S. Yeah, I posted this on
GameDev, but if I find a response on either Gamedev or here, I will post the answer on the opposite site.
