Program crash when calling Flip() in DX7
Author
My program crashes everytime I call flip or attempt to blt on the back surface. Here is my Init code, tell me what is wrong:
DDSURFACEDESC2 ddsd;
DDSCAPS2 ddscaps;
DirectDrawCreateEx(NULL, (VOID**)&g_pDD, IID_IDirectDraw7, NULL);
g_pDD->SetCooperativeLevel(hWnd, flags);
g_pDD->SetDisplayMode(width, height, bpp, refresh, NULL);
ZeroMemory(&ddsd, sizeof(ddsd));
ddsd.dwSize = sizeof(ddsd);
ddsd.dwFlags = DDSD_CAPS / DDSD_BACKBUFFERCOUNT;
ddsd.ddsCaps.dwCaps = DDSCAPS_PRIMARYSURFACE / DDSCAPS_FLIP / DDSCAPS_COMPLEX;
ddsd.dwBackBufferCount = 1;
g_pDD->CreateSurface(&ddsd, &g_pDDSPrimary, NULL);
ZeroMemory(&ddscaps, sizeof(ddscaps));
ddscaps.dwCaps = DDSCAPS_BACKBUFFER;
g_pDDSPrimary->GetAttachedSurface(&ddscaps, &g_pDDSBack);
I can set the display mode and blt to the front surface, but I seem to be messing up when I initialize the back surface somehow. Thanks.
Hi
well you dont check for the return values of the function. check eqach DDraw function return value.. if all return DD_OK then it is very odd that it crashes.. if not, you must check which function is not returning DD_OK and then check the return value and see what the error is !!
hope it helps

I agree with Akura. You should always check every functions return during the initialization. It isn''t time critical, so there is no excuse for such poor programming behavior.
