This will cause a crash:

+ Code Snippet

	// Set the main window as borderless
	hWnd = openWindow(0, 0, ScreenW, ScreenH, "Zabi's Escape Editor", WS_POPUP | WS_CLIPCHILDREN, true);

	// Attach the DarkGDK screen to the window
	dbOpenScreen(hWnd, 0, 0, ScreenW, ScreenH,ScreenD,0);
   
	// Set the window to the to the top of the z-order
	SetWindowPos(hWnd, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOREPOSITION | SWP_NOSIZE);

	ShowWindow(hWnd, SW_SHOW);
	dbSetDisplayMode(ScreenW, ScreenH,ScreenD,0,1,0,0,0,0);

I have a feeling I'm supposed to use it in place of something, but I can't figure it out.

The fastest code is the code never written.

Work's fine here on PB:

+ Code Snippet

;/ Show the DarkGDK render window
OpenWindow(0,0,0,640,480,"DarkGDK - Game Developer's Toolkit",#PB_Window_SystemMenu|#PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
dbOpenScreen(WindowID(0),0,0,640,480)

SetWindowPos_(WindowID(0),#HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, #SWP_NOREPOSITION | #SWP_NOSIZE)
ShowWindow_(WindowID(0), #SW_SHOW)

dbSetDisplayMode(640,480,32,1,4,0,0,0,0)

That's good to know, but I'm not using PureBasic. I'll see if I can modify it to work in DGDK2.0.

Well that means it's not a problem in GDK or at least not within the headers generated for PB (as the dll is the same for all languages).

The point is, I can't get it to work in c++. It's a good trouble-shooting aid to know that PB calls it and uses it correctly, but would you try it in c++...

If you can give a basic source code I can just copy and paste I will test it for you. Unfortunately I don't know C++ but I have it installed as part of Visual Basic .Net.

It would look almost identical(if not exactly) as the code you gave earlier. I poured over your code to check mine. The functions are the same except some of the variables. It translates almost perfectly.

So, why is it not working in c++? This looks like a job for Mistrel!

Could you build an executable and send it to me (inc. dll). It might be an issues with the hardware in the first place. Who knows.

I was looking in the wrong spot for the error. It wasn't dbSetDisplayMode() that was causing it. It had to do with the current bitmap. I corrected that, but now when I use AA, it won't allow my FX to work and it crashes after running a while. I'm using Evolved's normalmapping.fx and postbloom. I'm not sure if this can be fixed. I was unable to do AA with bloom in GDK1.0, so maybe there's something wrong with trying that method.
