Direct3D Problem

[zenogais]

Ok, this is a weird one. I'm trying to set up Direct3D drawing in my emulator, and I've gotten it set up and working with no errors, but when it clears the screen and presents it (thats all its doing atm), the clear color is drawn behind the main window instead of in it. Anyone know how I can solve this, or have any guesses?

EDIT:

I thought maybe a picture would help (The window used to be where the black box is) :

 

[aprentice]

wow odd problem indeed, did you make sure your drawing it to the right window handle?

Heh, figured it out. Apparently Direct3D doesn't like WS_EX_LAYERED style, which I need in order to fade in the window using SetWindowTransparency.

Bah, alpha blending is only on 2000/XP and above, why even bother with such silly things?

don't go overboard with the gui effects, they can be a major turnoff to the user if excessive

Wow damn, cool logo! I like special effects =) I say keep 'em!

sethmcdoogle: I'm well aware of that fact, and I have OS detection so that it doesn't even bother if the OS is not 2K or XP

aprentice: As for the GUI effects, I have specifically steered away from "overdoing" it, and from all the people I've sent the beta too I've gotten great feedback on that specific effect. Besides you have to option to turn it off if you don't like it

Doomulation: thanks for that, I spent about 2 days doing the initial design for that logo :happy:

It's so NIIIIIIIICE I wish I had one for myself for anything I've done. But... I can't design that kinda things. Oh well. It looks beutiful with that emulator, though. I think I can live with seeing that.
