C / C++ / MFC

Hi everyone, I am a new comer.

I want to ask if it is possible to write a directsound application without using GUI such as window dialog and MFC? Because I found that every sample provided by the DXSDK is written with window dialog? I wonder if I can create a application by using "Console Application".

Thank you everyone!!;)

There is no reason why you could not take appropriate functions from the examples and implement them in a console based application if that is what you want.

But I encounter the following errors when I build the application:

fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header directive

I am using .Net platform and creating this project by choosing the C++ console application.

Below is my code:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "dxstdafx.h"
#include <commdlg.h>
#include <dsound.h>

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
HWND hDlg;
CSoundManager* g_pSoundManager = NULL;

if (FAILED(g_pSoundManager->Initialize(hDlg,DSSCL_PRIORITY)))
{
printf("FAILED");
}
return 0;
}

Since I am using console application , I don't know what to put for the HWND variable for the Initialize function.

And I found that the problem only exist when i add the DXUT.h, DXUT.cpp, DXUTsound.cpp, DXUTsound.h provided by the DXSDK sample.

Which .cpp or .h should be added to succeed?
Thank you for replying. Smile | :)

You need to disable precompiled header for the file who generates the error:

in the workspace, left click on the concerned file, then choose Settings -> C/C++ tab, then choose 'Precompiled Header' category and select 'Not using precompiled header'.

In fact this for VC6 but it must be something similar in .NET.

Thank you for your reply but I still can't build it successfully.

Can you tell me what must I do to start programming direct sound with console application, such as which .h files should be added.

Thank you.

Yes but what is the error ?? Why can't you build your application ?

This is my code now:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "dsound.h"

int main()
{
CSoundManager* g_pSoundManager = NULL;
return 0;
}

error C2065: 'CSoundManager' : undeclared identifier
error C2065: 'g_pSoundManager' : undeclared identifier

I have added the dsound.h in the solutino explorer, and link the dxsdk include and lib folder to the project.
Is the project still missing some .h or .cpp?

Thank you very much! Smile | :)

Where is the class CSoundManager declared ?
You have to include this file in the main file

Now, I have included the .h and .cpp files into the workspace.
However, the new added files cause the following error:

Capture fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header directive

I have set the corresponding file to not use precomiled header,
but this cause the link error:

Capture error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _IID_IDirectSound3DBuffer

What's wrong with my code?

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "dsound.h"
#include "dxstdafx.h"
#include "DXUTsound.h"

int main()
{
CSoundManager* g_pSoundManager = NULL; return 0;
}

Thanks again! Smile | :)

Did you clean then recompile after you change the project setting not to use pre-compiled headers?

I have tried it but the problems still exist.

Maybe I send my project to you to see what are the errors.

Make sure also all the required libraries are included in your project (for example the library where _IID_IDirectSound3DBuffer is defined) !
You have to add these files in 'Project -> Settings' / 'Link' Tab and insert them in 'Object/library modules'.

This is probably why it throws the error: you included the .h files but the definition of the symbol is missing because it is defined in an external library (*.lib file).

Also , when i call the g_SoundManager->Initialize() function, I have to pass
the HWND parameter into this function. But I am using console application,
so, what should I pass for the HWND variable?

Console error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: long __thiscall CSoundManager::Initialize(struct HWND__ *,unsigned long)" (?Initialize@CSoundManager@@QAEJPAUHWND__@@K@Z) referenced in function _wmain

Thank You!!
