C++ DirectX11 Window Color not changing - c++

Question

I am developing a game engine using DX11. I am following a tutorial at http://www.rastertek.com/. I have done tutorial 2. The problem is that, when I try to change the color values, the window remains black. The relevant code is:
Graphics.cpp
bool Graphics::Initialize(int screenWidth, int screenHeight, HWND hwnd)

bool result;
m_D3D = new D3DClass;
if (!m_D3D)
return false;
result = m_D3D->Initialize(screenWidth, screenHeight, hwnd, VSYNC_ENABLED, FULL_SCREEN, SCREEN_DEPTH, SCREEN_NEAR);
if (!result)
{
MessageBox(hwnd, "Could not initialize Direct3D", "Error", MB_OK);
return false;
}
return true;
}

return true;
}

Each time I change the parameters in theBeginScene() call, no matter what those are (i tried values ranging from 1.0f to 256.0f on the red), the window is always black and there isn't the windows top three buttons (close, minimize, expand). What am I doing wrong? Any help appreciated.

Answer 1

I am following the same tutorials,
It's floating point value between 0 and 1.
so in your case for red color it's
bool Graphics::Render()
{
m_D3D->BeginScene(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);
m_D3D->EndScene();
return true;
}
Don't forget to set opacity to 1.0 the last value.
Good luck for the next ones.
