Errorr!!!!!

[StevenVeer]

I'm making a little game in DirectX.

I have made a UDT:

Type Surface
Surface As DirectDrawSurface7
DDSD As DDSURFACEDESC2
DestRect As RECT
ScrRect As RECT
Transparend As Boolean
Collision As Boolean
Height As Integer
Width As Integer
X As Integer
Y As Integer
CKey As DDCOLORKEY
End Type

I'v declared it

Dim Background As Surface

Now, if I try to make it as Surface

Set Background.Surface = dd.CreateSurfaceFromFile("C:\MainMenu.bmp", Background.DDSD)

I get an error!!!!!!!!!!!!


Like so:

Object variable or With block variable not set.

I don't know what's it.

how can help me??????

The 2nd value has to be a ddssurfacedesc, I believe.

[StevenVeer]

It is an DirectDrawSurfaceDesc ,this is shorter

[Sastraxi]

But you have to make one! The DDSD property only returns a reference to the ddsurfacedesc used to create it! In this, you are trying to get the surfacedesc from the same DirectDrawSurface you are trying to create, and it fails because it has not yet been created.

I did create a DDSURFACEDESC in my UDT:

Type Surface 
Surface As DirectDrawSurface7 
DDSD As DDSURFACEDESC2

Dim Background as Surface

now i have:

Background.Surface.SetColorKey
Background.DDSD.ddsCaps.lCaps
Background.DestRect.Bottom
Etc.

(i have made a little change in the first Post)

Set Background.Surface = dd.CreateSurfaceFromFile("C:\MainMenu.bmp", Background.DDSD)
