1. wrappers and c structures
Hi,
[ wrappers ]
Has anyone wrapped any parts of Direct X? (or anyone planning to)
More specifically has anyone wrapped Direct Input?
[ c structures ]
For people who are wrapping DLL's, does anyone have a better way to handle c
structures?
Currently I use a very basic way of defining constants of the offsets of
each structure element.
eg
constant structure_element_red = 0
constant structure_element_blue = 4
poke4( address + structure_element_blue, #0000FF)
Of course this method means I have to know what data type
'structure_element_blue' is, otherwise I
could end up poking a float32, or something else in there.
thanks,

Have you taken a look at the structure tools in Win32Lib? It's easy to
convert C structures, and the fetch() and store() routines make it trivial
to read from and write to structures. Check out WIn32Lib.DOC for
documentation.

I am currently looking at the DX SDK from MS... I ~should~ have
something going in a few days... As for DX Input i cant guess if or
when...

Hello
I'd like to see how you do it. I tried a few weeks ago, and could not find
but a few of the C_func/proc in Direct Draw DLL's. For instance
"SetCooperativeLevel".
Looking forward to see what you come up with.
Thanks
