Dx--DD: One app, 2 threads??

[Halsafar]

The thread 0xFFF8D3A7 has exited with code -1 (0xFFFFFFFF).
The thread 0xFFF7BE9F has exited with code 666 (0x29A).
The program 'programname' has exited with code 666 (0x29A).


Now, at the end of winmain i got return 666.

See, I know its Dx doing it, the second thread appears once I create a interface with DirectDraw.

So, it exits with -1..that good?

Did you make the DX object with the multi thread FLAG?




Edit: Ohhhh and why are you trying to use both of them at the same time?

I guess that -1 means that the thread was terminated forcefully - because the main thread terminated. That's nothing to worry about.

@NoteMe
HRESULT hRet = DirectDrawCreateEx(NULL, (void**)&DD, IID_IDirectDraw7, NULL);

when that line process's, another thread is attached to my main thread.

I can check it out in spy++.....

So I aint specifiing the flag.

@CB
I always figured -1 would be an error, but seeing I am doing nothing but creating and releasing/null the interfact with DD it can't be error. So your probably right

When you debug an app and then force-kill it by pressing the stop button, the indicated return value is -1. So I'm very sure about this.
