I search in the forum but i only find

That i need to search in the render

But …. Épic failed ^^

Please can you help me a little ??

what engine are you using?

```

    frmMain.width = [resolution] * (frmMain.width / frmMain.ScaleWidth)
    frmMain.height = [resolution] * (frmMain.height / frmMain.ScaleHeight)
```
```
Private Function InitD3DDevice(D3DCREATEFLAGS As CONST_D3DCREATEFLAGS) As Boolean

[snip]

ScreenWidth = same as the frmmain.width
ScreenHeight = same as the frmmain.height

```
Example

```
frmMain.width = 800 * (frmMain.width / frmMain.ScaleWidth)
frmMain.height = 600 * (frmMain.height / frmMain.ScaleHeight)

ScreenWidth = 800
ScreenHeight = 600

```

you will to then change the rendering position in almost every sub that handles rendering

Where exactly seen you searching? All of the DX stuff is in modGraphics or something along those lines

[Aerozik]

hi

i search everywhere

and more here in modrendering  Attribute VB_Name = "modRendering"

    Direct3D.GetAdapterDisplayMode D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT, Display_Mode 'Use the current display mode that you

                                                                    'are already on. Incase you are confused, I'm

                                                                    'talking about your current screen resolution. ;)

```

  Direct3D_Window.Windowed = True 'The app will be in windowed mode.

    Direct3D_Window.SwapEffect = D3DSWAPEFFECT_COPY 'Refresh when the monitor does.
    Direct3D_Window.BackBufferFormat = Display_Mode.Format 'Sets the format that was retrieved into the backbuffer.
    'Creates the rendering device with some useful info, along with the info
    'we've already setup for Direct3D_Window.
    'Creates the rendering device with some useful info, along with the info
    Direct3D_Window.BackBufferCount = 1 '1 backbuffer only
    Direct3D_Window.BackBufferWidth = 576 ' FrmMain.picScreen.ScaleWidth 'Match the backbuffer width with the display width
    Direct3D_Window.BackBufferHeight = 1171 'frmMain.picScreen.ScaleHeight 'Match the backbuffer height with the display height
    Direct3D_Window.hDeviceWindow = frmMain.picScreen.hWnd 'Use frmMain as the device window.

```
i match the size with the size i need and it doesn't work …..

[abhi2011]

Make sure frmMain is the same size. And make sure you compile using vb6\. I don't think you have it cuz no one names a mod like this Attribute VB_Name = "modRendering" unless you're reading the source code on notepad

[Aerozik]

If course i compile with vb6

I just copy the code in notepad to post here

I have the same size un FrmMain for ScaleWidth and ScaleHeight

Is that Why i m asking for help ^^

I don't have any error if i compile …..

Just it s not working ...

[abhi2011]

Hmm it seems that picscreen is your primary surface. My bad

Change picscreen size

[Aerozik]

so…....

i'm the stupid boy of the year ^^

i never test to change the picscreen size ...

only the frmMain ....

i m so sorry and special thanks to you 

abhi2011 and tehdoug for your help
