PrtX. Rendering Image Directly to DirectX Screen Surface

by bkenwright@xbdev..net

* Download Full Source Code *

Sometimes all you want to do is put a simple image file directly to the screen.  It doesn't have to be as hard as all that....you can grabe the directx surface directly, load our image in and just copy it directly onto the surface....its just like that.  Using a couple of DirectX API's such as CopyRects, and LoadImageToSurface(..)

The program isn't much to look at but its very simple and you should easily understand.  The main part of the code thats new and exciting is in the function Render().  Most of the rest of it is the windows and directx setupcode.  But I've shown it all here so you can see it all

Well its not the greatest piece of code!  But its simple and you should be able to follow what is happening easily... my mission is accomplished :)

Might be worth noting, that you can also edit and manipulate the pixels directly on our screen surface...as we are grabbing the directx surface, its quiet simple to lock it and edit the pixels on the surface, creating effects such as fire, blur, stars etc...without ever loading a texture or doing any 3d work.  Sort of going back to the days of DirectDraw(..).
