Re: CreateDevice() returns D3DERR_INVALIDCALL

[Please do not mail me a copy of your followup]

"PaulH" <paul.heil@xxxxxxxxx> spake the secret code
<1169159281.857148.189400@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> thusly:

I have a dialog app where I'd like to have a control that is direct3d
rendered. So, when this control's window is created I call an
CreateDevice() as below. But, it always fails with the error code
D3DERR_INVALIDCALL (0x8876086c). [...]

Standard questions apply:
- what versoin of the SDK are you using?
- Debug runtime installed?
- Debug runtime selected?
- What does the debug output say when you run your app?
- All HRESULTs checked?
