If this warning is really bugging you then you could attempt a pragma directive to stop it

#pragma warning( disable :  )

Dunno what the warning number might be, I don't know if it is #55 like the warning says. Of course don't get into the habit of doing this but if the warning is not coming from your code then go for it

It's a DX10 SDK issue. They probably chose to remove the feature in DX11 because it was a pain to solve. It happens.

Thank you both for the clarification, and stayscrisp for that nifty feature!

No problem. I admire your perseverance, so big Kudos on that score!

The problem is that DumpMessages is coded incorrectly. The author of the example fixes this in a newer version of the example GameLib, also incorrectly, by setting a count limit of 10 for the while loop.

The correct solution is below is where you request the waiting number of messages on the queue and then iterate over them and print them out. Finally removing the read messages from the list. see below

void cGraphicsLayer::DumpMessages()
{
	assert(m_pMessageQueue);

	HRESULT r = 0;

	UINT64 numMessages = m_pMessageQueue->GetNumStoredMessages();
	UINT64 count = 0;

	while( count < numMessages )
	{
		// Get the size of the message
		SIZE_T messageLength = 0;
		r = m_pMessageQueue->GetMessage(count, NULL, &messageLength);
		if(messageLength == 0)
			break;

		// Allocate space and get the message
		D3D10_MESSAGE * pMessage = (D3D10_MESSAGE*)malloc(messageLength);
		r = m_pMessageQueue->GetMessage(count, pMessage, &messageLength);
		if(FAILED(r))
		{
			OutputDebugString(L"Failed to get Direct3D Message");
			break;
		}
	
		TCHAR strOutput[MAX_PATH];
		swprintf_s(strOutput, MAX_PATH, L"D3DDMSG [Cat[%i] Sev[%i] ID[%i]: %s\n",
			pMessage->Category, pMessage->Severity, pMessage->ID, pMessage->pDescription);
		OutputDebugString(strOutput);
	
		count++;
	}

	// Clear Messages from the D3D message queue
	m_pMessageQueue->ClearStoredMessages();
}

PS: Also if the swprintf_s is set to a captial %S the unicode string will display in a readable format in the debug output window

void cGraphicsLayer::DumpMessages()
{
	assert(m_pMessageQueue);

	HRESULT r = 0;

	UINT64 numMessages = m_pMessageQueue->GetNumStoredMessages();
	UINT64 count = 0;

	while( count < numMessages )
	{
		// Get the size of the message
		SIZE_T messageLength = 0;
		r = m_pMessageQueue->GetMessage(count, NULL, &messageLength);
		if(messageLength == 0)
			break;

		// Allocate space and get the message
		D3D10_MESSAGE * pMessage = (D3D10_MESSAGE*)malloc(messageLength);
		r = m_pMessageQueue->GetMessage(count, pMessage, &messageLength);
		if(FAILED(r))
		{
			OutputDebugString(L"Failed to get Direct3D Message");
			break;
		}
	
		TCHAR strOutput[MAX_PATH];
		swprintf_s(strOutput, MAX_PATH, L"D3DDMSG [Cat[%i] Sev[%i] ID[%i]: %S\n",
			pMessage->Category, pMessage->Severity, pMessage->ID, pMessage->pDescription);
		OutputDebugString(strOutput);
	
		count++;
	}

	// Clear Messages from the D3D message queue
	m_pMessageQueue->ClearStoredMessages();
}
