Hey there I am having trouble finding the D3DXCOLOR struct, it seems it is no longer there in DirectX 11.1 (d3d11_1.h). I have searched for an equal of it but to no luck. Can someone help me with it? Also could you tell me how to use it if it has changed a lot?

Thanks

Well I've never written a directX program before so I may be wrong here. But from what I can tell, the struct (or similiar) is still contained in D3DX10Math.h.

It also seems that you can use a float array[4] representing your colours and pass it in the clearRenderTargetView as normal.

Also, cross posting is frowned upon, at least tell us -> http://xboxforums.cr...s/t/109520.aspx

Sorry for the cross posting, it wont happen again, there were just no replies over there.

Anyways, I tried using DirectXMath according to MSDN documentation but I didn't succeed, but the float array worked.
Thanks

D3DX* is deprecated and replaced by DirectXMath. You need to look at those docs, or create your own structure to represent your colors as per the new specification.

I'm a total noob to this and i too had the problem with a sample tutorial where they used it.
So after many hours searching the net.
drumroll
Tada....

Here is how I've converted it in my code

old code

    // clear the back buffer to a deep blue
     devcon->ClearRenderTargetView(backbuffer, D3DXCOLOR{ 0.0f, 0.2f, 0.4f, 1.0f };

new code

    
    // clear the back buffer to a deep blue
    float color[4] = { 0.0f, 0.2f, 0.4f, 1.0f };
    devcon->ClearRenderTargetView(backbuffer, color);
