May be nothing but I was looking at a DX7 windowed thingie
http://gpwiki.org/index.php/DirectX:Dir ... rid_Engine

It says
Primary.s.Blt DestRect, RenderTarget.s, SrcRect, DDBLTFAST_WAIT

Should it be BltFast or DDBLT_WAIT ?

Probably DDBLT_WAIT. I can't say for certain though, I haven't touched VB or DX in many years.

wouldn't be surprised if they have the same value, do not have VB here installed or the DX headers though.

They should have the same value. There's rarely a good reason to have two enums with the almost-the same name and the same function and not the same value.

That looks like a typo.

I don't even think there is a DDBLTFAST_WAIT enum in DirectDraw7 and if there is, it's for the BltFast() method, not the Blt() method.

Well, I do have the SDK here at work ofcourse, so here we go:

#define DDBLT_WAIT 0x01000000l
#define DDBLTFAST_WAIT 0x00000010
#define DDFLIP_WAIT 0x00000001L
(ddraw.h)


Which awfully looks to me as 'not the same values'. I really expected that the top two were/should have been the same.

Thank you Microsoft. You're always there to beat the crap out of us if we even consider to make a logical assumption.

How is it a logical assumption that passing a flag clearly marked for one function should give you sane behaviour when you pass it into a totally different function?
