IDARG_OUT_QUERY_HWCURSOR3 structure (iddcx.h)

An IDARG_OUT_QUERY_HWCURSOR3 structure is the output parameter used by IddCxMonitorQueryHardwareCursor3 to return information about the current hardware cursor.

Syntax

struct IDARG_OUT_QUERY_HWCURSOR3 {
  BOOL                    IsCursorVisible;
  INT                     X;
  INT                     Y;
  BOOL                    IsCursorShapeUpdated;
  IDDCX_CURSOR_SHAPE_INFO CursorShapeInfo;
  BOOL                    PositionValid;
  UINT                    PositionId;
  UINT                    SdrWhiteLevel;
};

Members

IsCursorVisible

[out] A Boolean value that indicates whether the cursor is visible.

X

[out] If the cursor is visible (IsCursorVisible = TRUE) then X is the x screen co-ordinate of the top-left hand pixel in the cursor image. This field is only valid if PositionValid is TRUE. X can be negative; for example, when a hot spot in the center of cursor is placed in the top-left of the screen.

Y

[out] If the cursor is visible (IsCursorVisible = TRUE) then Y is the y screen co-ordinate of the top-left hand pixel in the cursor image. This field is only valid if PositionValid is TRUE. Y can be negative; for example, when a hot spot in the center of cursor is placed in the top-left of the screen.

IsCursorShapeUpdated

[out] A Boolean value that indicates whether the cursor shape has been updated since the last time the driver called IddCxMonitorQueryHardwareCursor3. If it has been updated then the OS updates the CursorShapeInfo structure and copies the new cursor image data into the IDARG_IN_QUERY_HWCURSOR.pShapeBuffer buffer.

CursorShapeInfo

[out] A IDDCX_CURSOR_SHAPE_INFO structure in which the OS copies the current cursor information if the cursor is visible. If the cursor is not visible then the OS zeroes this structure.

PositionValid

[out] A Boolean value that indicates whether the X, Y, and PositionId fields in this structure are valid.

PositionId

[out] The ID of the last cursor position that the OS received for this monitor. The driver can compare this ID to the last cursor position that it processed to know whether it should process a new position update.

Note that there are cases where the position values might not have changed but the position ID value has changed. In this case the driver should process the position as if it was a new move. PositionId is not updated if IsCursorVisible changes and is only valid if PositionValid is TRUE.

SdrWhiteLevel

[out] The white level for the cursor, in nits, to be used when compositing with HDR content.

Remarks

For more information about HDR support, see IddCx version 1.10 updates.
