This section pertains only to application development in Visual Basic. See Direct3D Immediate Mode C/C++ Tutorials.
A Visual Basic form serves as your application window. Set the properties for your form in the following manner:
BorderStyle = 1 'Fixed Single Caption = "Triangle" ClientHeight = 3195 ClientLeft = 5415 ClientTop = 3300 ClientWidth = 3720 LinkTopic = "Form1" MaxButton = 0 'False MinButton = 0 'False ScaleHeight = 213 ScaleMode = 0 'User ScaleWidth = 254 StartUpPosition = 3 'Windows Default
To show your application window, include the following line in your Form_Load procedure:
Me.Show
With the application window ready, you can begin setting up the main DirectX objects, which is the topic of Step 2: Initialize System Objects.
