***It's the simplest directX example here!!!***
If don't know anything about DX, this is the perfect code for you.
No Modules or Classes, just one form with little code. Even includes conv3ds.exe, which lets you convert your 3DS files to .x files which are used in VB. You can easily add them into the world you can create.
*** GREAT CODE!!! ***
***Heavily commented***

Can't find the Active-X control: RMCONTROL.ocx. I can't test this application because of its lack of the 'canvas control'. Please tell me where I can locate this. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
When u say its easy because it has no class modules, I think ull find class modules are easier than pulling code out of forms to do as u wish, class modules are reusable. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
hmm..Tomas Tupy...i can't find conv3ds.exe in the zip file (i guess the server deleted it (doesn't allow exes ))..i really need a file like that..please can you send it to my e-mail george_p21@hotmail.com or tell me where can i find it?..a tip : when you upload exe file add a .tmp or .bak or something so the server won't delete it...please send me an e-mail.. :) (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
another thing..do as i told you and for the activex u use..because server doesn't allow ocx either..:)..thank you (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
This doesn't work. It cannot find the OCX control. It seems logical, though, since Planet-Source-Code does block it. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I really don't like this samples using the DirectX-Controls, why don't use DirectX8 or DirectX7 without any controls? But I think your sample is not bad for the ones who really want to learn this. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

Hi, great code. But could you send me the .exe and .ocx file please? thanks (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

I was able to test the program but only after downloading the ocx file from the net. From now onwards plz. rename the executable files to some other ext. so that the server won't delete those files. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
