SetDisplayMode

[nancyjames]

I'm working on a project and I'm having a problem with SetDisplayMode(1024,768,32);

I get 2 errors


main.cpp(47) : error C2501: 'SetDisplayMode' : missing storage-class or type specifiers
main.cpp(47) : error C2078: too many initializers

can anyone help?

I don't know much about DirectX, but SetDisplayMode appears to be a method of IDirectDraw - try calling it as such.
