   DDRAW: How do you set up framerate counter?
  I haven''t seen tutorial or good post in forum search, not even in book!  I think there is a function, but I haven''t found one that works with later than DX7Thanks 
  create a timer... create a variable (a USHORT) should do fine, and increment your USHORT every frame, and reset it every time the timer says one second has passed
