Or: Is there any way to validate an effect from string / file before loading via effect_load (of course DirectX Functions are also acceptable). regards, Timo PS: My current method is to hook the function call of message box, and avoid the called message box. Though this ofc works, i would like to try to avoid any unnessasary hooking, so therefore it would be cool if you could give me a short D3DX Snippet you currently use to check the effects..

You can compile the effect for checking if there are syntax errors. Our code looks like this:

Code:

LPD3DXEFFECTCOMPILER pEffectCompiler = NULL;
LPD3DXBUFFER pEffect = NULL;
hr = D3DXCreateEffectCompiler(
	content,len,
	NULL,	// defines
	&includeManager,	// includes
	D3DXSHADER_ENABLE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY,
	&pEffectCompiler,NULL);

if(SUCCEEDED(hr))
	hr = pEffectCompiler->CompileEffect(
		D3DXSHADER_ENABLE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY,
		&pEffect,NULL);
if(!SUCCEEDED(hr) || !pEffect)
	... // show error box

"content" and "len" are the source code and its size.
