    Question

    How do you get directx set up, like for a vb program? Would It be like useing win API? If you can just think of a help file to point me to or explain it thank you, I am sure with a little help I could figure it out. But I am just looking for the little help.

    You have to check DirectX type library in your project references, you don't need any api calls, just use the objects you get with the type library. For instance:
    Public DirectX as new DirectX7
    that should be the first line you have in your app, it set's up the main DirectX object. Then it of course depends what you need directX for, DDRAW, DSOUND, D3D... just what do you want to do?
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.
