'------------------------------------------------------ 'How To: Use DirectX with VB 'Posted: 17-July-98 '------------------------------------------------------ Q: Is it possible to use DirectX with VB, if so how?   A: As of version 6 Visual Basic does not provide native access to DirectX. Generally VB`ers resort to third party controls to provide this functionality. If you check out the Game Programming section of this site you will find links to a free type library by Patrice Scribe that provides access to some of the DirectX features. You`ll also find links to other DirectX resources you may find useful.   '------------------------------------------------------- 'Updated: 09-Sept-99 '------------------------------------------------------- Microsoft is currently beta testing DirectX 7.0 which will include language support for VB. Expected release date was originally later this month. You can check out the official Microsoft DirectX site for the current status of this much anticipated update.   Burt Abreu   Downloads In IE right-click and select 'Save Target As...' or in Netscape right-click and select 'Save Link As...'    View Plain Text  Not Available  Not Available
