Whats the problem here?
Why doesn't it compile like it should?

It should compile correctly, since the sourcecode is from http://www.directxtutorial.com/Tutorial9/A-Win32/dx9A3.aspx


2009 doesn't start well...
still compiling problems.

This is not linking correctly with the user32.lib library.

In the project properties, in the linker part, check the CommandLine - this shows what parameters/options the linker will be using and should look something like this:
/OUT:"C:\Documents and Settings\andy\My Documents\Programming\Projects\msvc\testing_001\Debug\testing_001.exe"
/INCREMENTAL /NOLOGO /MANIFEST /MANIFESTFILE:"Debug\testing_001.exe.intermediate.manifest"
/MANIFESTUAC:"level='asInvoker' uiAccess='false'" /DEBUG /PDB:"c:\Documents and Settings\andy\My Documents\Programming\Projects\msvc\testing_001
\Debug\testing_001.pdb"
/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE /DYNAMICBASE /NXCOMPAT /MACHINE:X86 /ERRORREPORT:PROMPT
kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib
shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib odbc32.lib odbccp32.lib

What libraries does it show are being linked in?

/OUT:"C:\Users\Toby Hinloopen\Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\Project1\Debug\Project1.exe" /NOLOGO /MANIFEST /MANIFESTFILE:"Debug\Project1.exe.intermediate.manifest" /ERRORREPORT:PROMPT kernel32.lib
hmm, doesn't look like yours :P
i'm trying your command line

edit: crap, i cannot edit it :P

what to do know?

[guestgulkan]

No you can't edit that.
That is just a display of all your linker options you have selected.


Try this first:
Linker -> Input and in the Additional Dependencies add the names
of the missing libraries seperated by spaces. For example user32.lib gdi32.lib --- or you can use use the ... button which will bring up a bigger edit box where you can enter the names (one per line).

[gamebuster]

Whooohooo, it works :)

Now, how can i set both:

-Characterset
and
-Linker -> Input

with default settings?

i don't want to set Charset @ unicode and linker @ user32.lib every time i start a new project... it should be possible to default that, but how?

[guestgulkan]

I don't know what when wrong when your project settings - but I'm sure that Visual Studio should default to Unicode Character set, and it should set itself up to link all those libs we saw earlier, each time you create a new project.
