D3DError on resetting device after adding GUIWindow (Solved)
Posted: Mon Feb 04, 2013 18:57
Hi, just started adding CEGUI into my DirectX engine yesterday, so I've been working through the tutorials and have come across a couple problems. First of all, when resizing the window or switching to fullscreen the image now becomes stretched rather than switching to the correct resolution/aspect ratio when I call Reset on the device with the new presentation parameters. Not really a massive problem as I don't expect the user to be doing that very often, but I suspect there's probably something I'm not doing that will fix this anyway.
But more importantly, after adding a Window to the GUI I can't resize/fullscreen at all because I get a D3D error when resetting the device. I'm guessing that either CEGUI already does some kind of reset which is messing with my own, or that there's something I should be doing to CEGUI before I reset the device? The actual error is:
Error Code: D3DERR_INVALIDCALL (0x8876086c)
Calling: mp_d3dDevice->Reset(&m_d3dPP);
Here's the top bit of my CEGUI.log file, but it doesn't actually give any errors or anything since the error is a D3D error, so I assume the rest isn't relevant
And lastly my little test function that adds a window (Could be something I'm doing wrong here as well to be honest, but it seems to work fine until I resize the application window)
Gah, just tried some different search terms and found another topic on the forum which had what I needed. Looks like you have to call Direct3D9Renderer->preD3DReset() and postD3DReset() before and after resetting the device, and that solved both problems... Knew it would be something incredibly simple :3
