VS2012 Spout2 compile error

[sheridanis]

from memory you need to change your project to use multi code, either that or to not use multicode

Yes I came across this recently with another project and fixed it by casting. For this particular project it was due to to the "Configuration properties -> character set" not being set to anything. Other Spout projects are set to Unicode. In this project the rest of the code causes errors for Unicode so it has to be left not set, but your project might work OK with Unicode.

For some reason wcstombs_s does not like "DisplayDevice.DeviceKey" which is WCHAR but it works OK with "adapterinfo.Description" which is also WCHAR.

In fact for your project you could try to leave out the "GetAdapterInfo" function. I am working on a release that removes the auto-detection of Intel graphics because this does not seem to work as expected and is causing problems. The new release will have an installer with options for DirectX 9 or DirectX 11.

Then in "OpenDirectX" make the following change :

 ---

// Open DX11    
if(OpenDirectX11()) {
    bUseDX9 = false; // Set to indicate intialized as DX11
    // Return here if OK - Intel auto detection removed 21.04.15
    return true;
}

return false;


/*
    // Get adapter info using both DirectX and Windows functions

comment out the rest

----

After that you should specifically set to use DirectX 9 or DirectX 11 with SetDX9() because DirectX 9 will be the default for the next release. At the moment the default is DirectX 11. Everything except the Unity plugin should work with DirectX9.
