Hello all.
I just recently started a project using directx for a paint program. I am new to directx programming and have not before program with it. The codes that I entered are the typical codes but with modifications to handle directx programming. They compile and link with out error to produce a blank window. However, when I compile in debug mode to go over the lines for initializing the COM:
d3d = Direct3DCreate9(D3D_SDK_VERSION);The debugger logs this:
"Direct3D9: (ERROR) :HAL Disabled: Device needs to support at least 16 bit vertex indices"
Could someone explain what I could be doing wrong or could be missing? I linked the libraries to the project and included the headers as I would typically do. I checked all threads per directx yet to find a solution to shake this off. Thanks for all your help. Sadaka
