Helper Class for DX8

[ShahMat]

I recently converted a perfectly fine DirectX 8.1 program from VB6 to VB.NET and it broke! No problem, I got most of it fixed, but I noticed in the upgrade report that unattached functions are not allowed in VB.NET. I needed to use the D3DColorRGBA function to convert a hex RGBA value to an integer (long in VB6) but since its not attached to a class, it got dropped from the type library. So I whipped up this little class that you can compile into a VB6 dll, import as a reference, and use as D3DCOLORAUX global functions. Enjoy!

PS since this has more to do with fixing old apps to work with .NET, does this thread go here or in the DirectX forum? Or maybe both...?

I think you forgot the attachment.

Doh!

Oops, yes, I did forget to put up the attachment. Sorry! I dont have the code here at home, but Ill upload the class module from work tomorrow.

Okay, heres the class. Its pretty basic, just passing functions along the chain, but at least it works in .NET.

Sorry for necroposting, but is the attachment broken?
