Strange... :P

I get errors while compileing stateing that an error ocurs in this particular part of code:

Code:

---

m_pDevD3D->SetVertexShader(D3DFVF_SIMPLEVERTEX);

---

where D3DFVF_SIMPLEVERTEX is defined like this:

Code:

---

#define D3DFVF_SIMPLEVERTEX (D3DFVF_XYZRHW|D3DFVF_DIFFUSE)

---

Which is, as I'm perciving it, strange because in a similiar project some guy is using exactly the same command and the compiler isn't throwing any error messages about incapabilities of casting from int to *pShader. So I'm guessing he's running it with other cmd line options but I don't really know.
Thanks in advance.

What is the compile error?

Viggy

Please use a title that is meaningful to the topic.
"Strange..." has no meaning.
Many people won't look at these questions.

Something like "Compiler error with graphics library"

How about different version of DirectX?
From MSDN:
Vertex Declaration Changes
Vertex declarations are now decoupled from vertex shader creation. Vertex declarations now use a Component Object Model (COM) interface.

For DirectX 8.x, vertex declarations are tied to vertex shaders.

- For the fixed function pipeline, call IDirect3DDevice9::SetVertexShader with the flexible vertex format (FVF) code of the vertex buffer.
- For vertex shaders, call IDirect3DDevice9::SetVertexShader with a handle to a previously create vertex shader. The shader includes a vertex declaration.

For Direct3D 9, vertex declarations are decoupled from vertex shaders and they can be used with either the fixed function pipeline or with shaders.

- For the fixed function pipeline, there is no need to call IDirect3DDevice9::SetVertexShader. If, however, you want to switch to the fixed function pipeline and have previously used a vertex shader, call IDirect3DDevice9::SetVertexShader(NULL). When this is done, you will still need to call IDirect3DDevice9::SetFVF to declare the FVF code.
- When using vertex shaders, call IDirect3DDevice9::SetVertexShader with the vertex shader object. Additionally, call IDirect3DDevice9::SetFVF to set up a vertex declaration. This uses the information implicit in the FVF. IDirect3DDevice9::SetVertexDeclaration can be called in place of IDirect3DDevice9::SetFVF because it supports vertex declarations that cannot be expressed with an FVF.

Heh... I guess It would help. I forgot that that 'other guy' was using DirectX 8 while I'm trying to get it running in DirectX 9. I guess what you wrote after that will make it work. Thanks.
