Hey, friends.
Recently, I am using VS2008 + DarkGDK to learn some basics about graphics and games. As my notebook's configuration is Win7 and Nvidia video card, I confront many problems such as dbCircle and dbBox can't work. According to one friend in the forum says, with the command dbSetWindowOff() we can solve the problem of dbCircle. However, the problem of dbBox still exists! I am very disappointed now. I hope you can help me! Thanks!

hi, Gonefar

I just tested the dbCircle and dbBox functions on my windows 7 system. I have the October 2010 Update and they worked fine.

In the update files, there is a 'vs9debug' file. What's its function? I replace the installed directory 'Lib\vs9' with 'vs9' and 'Include' with 'Include'(the same files are replaced) in the update file. Do I make it rightly?

If dbCircle works, then your directory is fine. dbBox and dbCircle are in the same library. I had a problem with dbCircle, but not dbBox, so I created a function that did the job for me. Making a box is super simple:
create a memblock the size of the box
fill in the memblock with the color
make an image using the memblock
(sprite if you want)
display

I would even go one step further. Make your function take the following parameters:
location (upper left)
size (sx,sy)
color
bool FilledIn;//if false, make an outline leaving the inside open

The fastest code is the code never written.

Hey, Hawkblood

It's really ridiculous that your dbBox can work but mine not, while my dbCircle can work ang yours not. Yeah, I define a function drawBox to draw box. What's more, for the convenience, I make a drawBox.h and add it into the DarkSDK.h so that I can use the draw box function by only using '#include "DarkGDK.h". It works well. Thanks for your reply.
