cSilentFont v1.1

[SILENTChris 4]

"cSilentFont" is a C++ class coded by silentchris.
All credits goes to silentchris and the MSDN (Microsoft).
Please credit silentchris if you use this class.

"cSilentFont" got made to make LPD3DXFONT-using easier and let it render faster.
It`s recommend to use the PreloadText function to get the highest performance
out of your LPD3DXFONT. Make sure that you only call it once for each static string.

################################################
## The 3 different drawfunctions:
################################################
1. [DrawText()]

  - Is basically left aligned without any extras.

  - Flags
      - 1. "T_CENTER" will make the font center aligned.
      - 2. "T_RIGHT"  will make the font right aligned.
      - 3. "T_SHADOW" will add a shadow around the font.

  - Examples
      - Left		: pFont->DrawText( 10, 10, 0xFFFFFFFF, NULL				, "Text" );
      - Left (Shadow)	: pFont->DrawText( 10, 10, 0xFFFFFFFF, T_SHADOW			, "Text" );
      - Center		: pFont->DrawText( 10, 10, 0xFFFFFFFF, T_CENTER			, "Text" );
      - Center (Shadow): pFont->DrawText( 10, 10, 0xFFFFFFFF, T_CENTER|T_SHADOW, "Text" );
      - Right		: pFont->DrawText( 10, 10, 0xFFFFFFFF, T_RIGHT			, "Text" );
      - Right (Shadow)	: pFont->DrawText( 10, 10, 0xFFFFFFFF, T_RIGHT|T_SHADOW	, "Text" );

2. [DrawTextMaxLen()]

  - Will draw a left aligned text with choosable MAX-LEN.

  - Can be shadowed or non-shadowed.

  - Examples
      - Normal: pFont->DrawTextMaxLen( 10, 10, 5, 0xFFFFFFFF, FALSE, "Text" );
      - Shadow: pFont->DrawTextMaxLen( 10, 10, 5, 0xFFFFFFFF, TRUE , "Text" );

3. [DrawTextAutoScrolling()]

  - Will draw text which will scroll from the right to the left over and over
    again inside the selected field.

  - You can set the speed.

  - You`ll need to add a buffer as we want it to be different for each call.

  - Examples
      - Normal: pFont->DrawTextAutoScrolling( 10, 10, 100, 1, &buf, 0xFFFFFFFF, FALSE, "Text" );
      - Shadow: pFont->DrawTextAutoScrolling( 10, 10, 100, 1, &buf, 0xFFFFFFFF, TRUE , "Text" );

################################################
## How to use:
################################################
1. Add this on the top of any file:
  C_SilentFont *pFont;

2. Call this once inside your Present/Endscene:
  pFont = new C_SilentFont( pDevice, "Arial", 14, FW_SEMIBOLD, FALSE );

     Parameter 1: Your D3D Device
     Parameter 2: The name of your font
     Parameter 3: The size of your font
     Parameter 4: The Weight of your font
     Parameter 5: You want your font Italic?!

3. Before your drawing call this every frame:
  pFont->InitVolatileResources( );

4. DRAW!

5. After your drawing call this every frame:
  pFont->FreeVolatileResources( );

6. Thats it 

################################################
## All Functions listed:
################################################
C_SilentFont( LPDIRECT3DDEVICE9 pd3dDevice, TCHAR* strFontName, INT dwFontSize, UINT dwFontFlags, BOOL Italic );
~C_SilentFont( );

LPD3DXSPRITE GetSprite( );
LPD3DXFONT GetFont( );
CHAR *GetName( );
INT GetTextLenght( CHAR *str );
INT GetTextHeight( );
UINT GetFlags( );
BOOL GetItalic( );
HRESULT PreloadText( CHAR *dwText );
HRESULT InitVolatileResources( );
HRESULT FreeVolatileResources( );
