https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/gaming/tutorial--adding-controls

I am new to C++ and I wanted to add the MoveLookController Class to my new DX11 App but I don't know how to call functions of it. I can add it to my Project but in the App.cpp InteliSense says: "Identifier 'MoveLookController' is undefined".

The projectname is Sample3DGameDX.

Right now I know how I can Change the direction where the camera is Looking from which Point and I can tilt it zoom in but I now want to make the controls for it but I cant access the MoveLookController class without defining it... And I don't know how to make itin C++.

Hi,

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

When you tried to use MoveLookController Class, did you include the .h file of MoveLookController? If you didn't include it, it can't directly find MoveLookController. For example, I added the .h and .cpp files under Content folder in my project. So I include the .h file like below:

#include "Content/MoveLookController.h"  

And after including the file, if you want to initialize the MoveLookController class:

MoveLookController^ m_controller = ref new MoveLookController(CoreWindow::GetForCurrentThread());  

For more details about how to use MoveLookController class, you can refer to this official sample.

Thanks.

Sorry for my instant responding... 😬 I put this project aside and tried to get more familiar with basic C++ instead of making a game at first try... This worked thanks!
