IDirectDraw (Compact 2013)
3/26/2014
Applications use the methods of the IDirectDraw interface to create DirectDraw objects and work with system-level variables.
Methods
In addition to the methods inherited from IUnknown this interface exposes the following methods.
Method |
Description |
|---|---|
Creates a DirectDrawClipper object. |
|
Creates a DirectDrawSurface object for this DirectDraw object. |
|
Enumerates all of the display modes the hardware exposes through the DirectDraw object that are compatible with a provided surface description. |
|
Enumerates all of the existing or possible surfaces that meet the specified surface description. |
|
Makes the surface that the Graphics Device Interface (GDI) writes to the primary surface. |
|
Retrieves the total amount of display memory available and the amount of display memory currently free for a given type of surface. |
|
Fills in the capabilities of the device driver for the hardware and the software emulation. |
|
Retrieves the current display device's identifying information. |
|
Retrieves the current display mode. |
|
Retrieves the FOURCC codes supported by the DirectDraw object. This method can also retrieve the number of codes supported. |
|
Retrieves the DirectDrawSurface object that currently represents the surface memory that GDI is treating as the primary surface. |
|
Retrieves the frequency of the monitor being driven by the DirectDraw object. |
|
Retrieves the scan line that is currently being drawn on the monitor. |
|
Retrieves the IDirectDrawSurface interface for a surface based on its GDI device context handle. |
|
Retrieves the status of the vertical blank. |
|
Restores all the surfaces created for the DirectDraw object, in the order they were created. |
|
Resets the mode of the display device hardware for the primary surface to what it was before the IDirectDraw::SetDisplayMode method was called. Exclusive-level access is required to use this method. |
|
Determines the top-level behavior of the application. |
|
Sets the mode of the display-device hardware. |
|
Reports the current cooperative-level status of the DirectDraw device for a windowed or full-screen application. |
|
Helps the application synchronize itself with the vertical-blank interval. |
Remarks
The IDirectDraw::Initialize method is not supported in Windows Embedded Compact.
You can use the LPDIRECTDRAW to declare a variable that contains a pointer to an IDirectDraw interface. The Ddraw.h header file declares this data type with the following code.
typedef struct IDirectDraw*LPDIRECTDRAW;
