Starter issues in Direct3D

[jjerry]

Hi good people :)

 

First of all, how do you make your application run in fullscreen mode?

I set the PresentParameters object, I check with the Manager object

to make a BackBuffer with the correct width, height and format, I create

the device and try clearing it and the application crashesh. Does anyone

have (undoubtedly, but is also willing to post) a working piece of code? :D

 

2nd question: What is the true nature of the znearPlane and zfarPlane parameters in Matrix.PerspectiveFovLH(..)? Ok, they are clipping planes, but do they apply in camera (view) space? I suppose so, but application behavior suggests otherwise. For example, my camera is at (0, 0, -1000), looking at (0,0,0). I'm drawing only 3 axes, so there isn't a single point with Z < 0. However, for some reason it works with (znear, zfar) = (0, 100) and for some reason doesn't if I put znear > 0 :confused: :confused:

 

Please help, experienced ones :rolleyes:

If you could post the code that is failing that would be helpful.

That won't be necessary :) at least about the clipping planes issue, but thanks for wanting to help. About the fullscreen problem, I'll get to that and post the faulty piece of code.
