i posted the start of DBdiag at RGT


yes it would be a registry key i would imagine but how would u call it and is it the same and in the same place on all of the windows OSes.

indi, i've released a DLL - so has Toady for getting this information

i figured this was grabbing it from a part of DirectX, i hope the Registry holds the correct version

Why is it necessarily relevant to be able to determine the DirectX version installed. If you ran you program and the required DX wasn't installed (7 or 8.1) the game would terminate and there would be no relevance to knowing the DX installed. If the user has the proper DX installed, why would they need to worry? Don't get me wrong. This is a great piece of code and I am still dumbfounded and can't quite figure out what it is doing(I wouldn't be able to program this), but why would this really be relevant?

imagine a feature only existed in dx9 but had to be created a different way as compared to dx7

it only helps to identify the platform your game is running on and to identify what u can access.

well i have a few DirectX 8.1 & 9 functions for Professional ... but it detects which DirectX is installed (differently than to above) and uses the apropriote libraries

so really have 2 sets of functions written for the same tast but written to take full advantage of each DirectX

though really all indi is doing is making a System Checker, or perhaps a startup editor based on features

yes thats correct its help all the programs being made to identify what platform and features is on the system the program runs on so it knows in a fuzzy logic what to use.
