RE: [GD-Windows] ChangeDisplaySettings and other windows

Yup that's right.

The correct cleanup order should be

Release all resources
Release device
Release D3D
Destroy all GDI stuff
Destroy window

Hmm, I can't remember the solution, but the idea is a race condition between
when you main window is destroyed and when you come out of fullscreen mode.

The thing is to play with the order of those two. For example make sure that
you destroy your direct3d device in responce to the WM_CLOSE message, so you
know it is killed before the window.

Or in respond to WM_DESTROY

Or make sure that after the window has been killed the device is still alive
and only destroy it in responce to WM_QUIT.

Sorry haven't done this in a while. You might want to try the DirectXDev
mailing list
