[Solved] Direct3d and Qt Not Working

[Hornsj2]

I am trying to render D3D11 to a QWidget derived class. The class is below, can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Right now what I see is the D3D result flickers on the screen once in a while but doesn't show up consistently.

The flickering is Qt presenting it's back buffer over the direct 3d content. The way to fix is to disable paint updates on the widget with setUpdatesEnabled(false) and reimplementing winEvent() to handle WM_PAINT messages as you wont get paintEvents with updates disabled.

Solved - thank you, that worked perfectly
