Need a DirectDraw Tutorial

Hi There :)

I've seen the Tutorial in the Tutor's Section, and although it's helped out a lot, I've had to use two tutorials to be able to learn minimal DirectDraw. (The other is from www.allapi.net)

But I was wondering if anybody out there could post directions to a site, or if they really wanted to write the tutorial themselves then ok, but a tutorial on DirectDraw using DirectX 7, and VB 6.0

I've looked around the net but haven't been able to find DirectX 7 tutorials, and I'm having problems understanding all of the DirectDraw tutorial in the Tutor's Section. My goal is to be able to set a background and eventually move in to transparencies (but that's far off) :)

I've got everything set up thanks to the Tutor's Corner, now I just need help in loading and displaying Bitmaps. I have only two surfaces set up, Primary, BackBuffer and the rest of my code is mainly just setting up DirectDraw and nothing to do with the imaging part. If anybody can point me in the right direction then I'll be a happy man :)

Thanks

The have DirectDraw at AllAPI.net? :confused:

Thanks! DirectX 4 VB has everything I think I'll need :)


yeah...they do have the tutorial at allapi.net but its really old. I think it used directX 2 and an old version of vb :)
