Hello

Is it allowed to use the dx7vb.dll in Purebasic applications ? (also in commercial applications ?)

well i'm sure you could if you installed the managed directx package from MS, but i have no idea why you would want to.

If it's a online distributed app then point them to the DirectX site and update page.

If it's retail, then include the DirectX 9.0c (or later) redistributable.
it should be somewhere on the M$ site.

Hi

@dracflamloc

I want to use the managed version of DirectX because it is easier to use.

Isn't the Library a part of Visual Basic ?

That DLL is not for the managed version of DirectX, don't know who thought that .. It came out with DirectX7 redistributable, and it allows (real) vb coders to use directx .. it's only an interface for VB users.. PB users are not restricted to use that ... fortunately ...

Plus the use of managed dx is only easier for managed scripting languages. aka .net. not a real language like PB.
