There is a very large project and it has a file for 6k lines, which describes various drawing functions (mostly real-time graphs) using DirectDraw (written 10 years ago under xp). There was a question about the transfer to Win7. Began to look for information as with what DirecDraw is. The wiki says that the library is outdated and merged with DirectX. Actually the question itself, is it possible to somehow transfer this project with a little blood? Maybe someone came across a similar or knows whether the old APIs have been preserved, or at least how the old APIs have changed. Thank you in advance.
- As far as I know, DirectX is backward compatible, i.e. should and so earn. - Vladimir Gamalyan
- @Vladimir Gamalian problem is that DirectDraw required to connect ddutil.h, which is not in DirectX_SDK. Maybe you know what to connect instead? - dr_zak
- I just looked that ddutil.h is missing in the DirextX7 SDK, maybe it’s some kind of custom (the same name has a file in the examples of this SDK). - Vladimir Gamalyan 1:51 pm
- @Vladimir Gamalian not in the 7th version, but starting from the 7th. I have the Microsoft DirectX SDK (2010 June), which also doesn’t have ddutil.h and others like it - dr_zak
- Strange, because DirectX7 was released earlier than WindowsXP. - Vladimir Gamalyan
