DirectX surface change?

[Shurijo]

I am using DDraw and I use CreateSurfaceFromResource method to load a bitmap from a resource file. Later in the application, I load another bitmap over the same surface. When I do this, the second image gets warped to fit the width and height of the first image.

Is there a way that I can reset surface so that my second bitmap isn't streched to the same dimensions as the first image?

thanks,

You have to change the width and height of the surface when you blit the new bitmap onto it.

Alternatively you could destroy it and then create it, it may avoid a memory leak but then again it may create one. Be on your guard.

before you using the secound bitmap type

type

set surface = nothing

then set the Ddsd valus

then set the rect

then blt fast the surface
