Now I've got another seemingly simple question. Instead of setting a userform as my window in which to render, I'd like to use a PictureBox. I try to create a device by passing the CreateDevice method the hWnd of my PictureBox, but I get an automation error. How descriptive those automation errors are. I tried setting all my PictureBox properties to the same as the form's (note that the code DOES work when the PictureBox isn't the target), excluding LinkTopic (because I can't and shouldn't have to set that anyway). No dice. Is there some flag I have to specify to get D3D to create a device inside a PictureBox? Any advice is appreciated! I'm using DirectX 8 and VB6. I'll have code as soon as I get to my other computer, but for now anyone who wants to help can simulate the problem by setting the DeviceWindow to the hWnd of a PictureBox. Much obliged, Steve.
