In direct3d8, where would I render the graphics to avoid flickering?

[Jani]

Double buffer..

[dnsi0]

Direct3d Hook... Not making my own game.

[Jani]

The rendering loop or w/e would you call it. Anyway the loop drawing all the stuff.

[dnsi0]

Yea after which function T.T...

Cause Im not trying to overlay it with dx (cause I suck) so Im inserting GDI32 after a function. Present flickers, EndScene Flickers

[Jani]

Errrr.... I know nothing about GDI+D3D, but I'll guess. You're getting your DC with GetDC implemented in windows.h? How are you getting your DC? You might want to try IDirect3DSurface9::GetDC() from DX SDK.

EndScene should work I think. But you should use directx instead of GDI. The D3DX classes make it really easy to draw text and images and they are faster than GDI.

As long as you draw right after ::Present() there should be no issues. The flickering occurs because ::EndScene() is not a synchronous function. Either way, doing this in DirectX is preferable as previously mentioned.

[Edit: I think ::Present() is not synchronous as well. Since your function is GDI and not affected by the DirectX swap chain, you could try drawing on calls to ::BeginScene().]

I might be off-topic or on-topic, but the compiler takes sometimes 3 - 4 seconds to render the GUI of a .NET application (both in the compiler and when it's running). Why is that?

[lurc]

dnsi0 what happened to building that one driver then starting to actually learn C. Because from what I'm still seeing you suck just as much as you did before and you still don't know C. You should not be even trying this if you don't know how to use it especially with graphics and display...
