Help with Tricks :(

Hey, I get this error when I try to link the dx intializing demo (chap 6):
main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _IID_IDirectDraw7
Debug/wnd.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
(it doesn''t like this code:
if (FAILED(lpdd->QueryInterface(IID_IDirectDraw7,
(LPVOID *)&lpdd7)))
{
// error
return(0);
} // end if
)
Help would be appreciate.
Are you linking the DirectDraw libraries? What about dxguid.lib?

I had the SAME problem lol 
If you ever have another error, try putting #define INITGUID or something weird like that at the top of your code I''m sure someone will correct me (that doesn''t look right)

Actually Lamothe uses the #define INIT_GUID instead of including dxguid.lib into the project. the #define INIT_GUID macro causes alot of problems when you divide your program up into seperate files, so I prefer to just link to the dxguid.lib . It is alot cleaner. Also keep in mind that dxguid.lib holds the Globaly Unique Identifiers for all of directx. So no matter what direct x component you use (direct draw, direct input, direct sound, direct play, direct show, direct 3d) you''ll need to include dxguid.lib into your project (just once).
