Now I wanna know how I can move it with the mouse!
I want to be able to change the camera's Target using the mouse, and position using the keyboard (FPS style).
I read some of the samples in which comes with SDK, but I could not figure out really which part was essential for moveing the camera.
Please help me on this one =)
thx
If you want to implement a camera with unrestrained mouse-look functionality, you'll want to use the DirectInput to read the mouse in relative mode, which reports mouse movement as a position delta and is not tied to the screen coordinates.

Having been familiar with older revs of directx in a past lifetimes and having written my own camera code a few times nowand coming up to speed on DX again- the demos and documentation in the latest SDK's don't do a lot of justice to taking advantage of the helper functions.
I'm looking at either re-inventing the wheel as well or ciphering through the camera code... so far it's been a wash in terms of which is easier.
Don't get me wrong- the code is brilliant, however the documentation/demos are leaving a bit to be desired.
