Errors are represented by negative values and cannot be combined.

This table lists the values that can be returned by all methods of the IDirectDraw, IDirectDrawSurface, and IDirectDrawClipper interfaces.

For a list of the error codes that each method can return, see the method description.

Return code	Description
DD_OK	The request completed successfully.
DDERR_CANTCREATEDC	Windows cannot create any more device contexts (DCs), or a DC was requested for a palette-indexed surface when the surface had no palette and the display mode was not palette-indexed (that is, DirectDraw cannot select a proper palette into the DC).
DDERR_CANTLOCKSURFACE	Access to this surface is refused because an attempt was made to lock the primary surface without DCI support.
DDERR_CLIPPERISUSINGHWND	An attempt was made to set a clip list for a DirectDrawClipper object that is already monitoring a window handle.
DDERR_COLORKEYNOTSET	No source color key is specified for this operation.
DDERR_CURRENTLYNOTAVAIL	No support is currently available.
DDERR_DCALREADYCREATED	A device context (DC) has already been returned for this surface. Only one DC can be retrieved for each surface.
DDERR_DEVICEDOESNTOWNSURFACE	Surfaces created by one DirectDraw device cannot be used directly by another DirectDraw device.
DDERR_DIRECTDRAWALREADYCREATED	A DirectDraw object representing this driver has already been created for this process.
DDERR_EXCLUSIVEMODEALREADYSET	An attempt was made to set the cooperative level when it was already set to exclusive.
DDERR_GENERIC	There is an undefined error condition.
DDERR_HEIGHTALIGN	The height of the provided rectangle is not a multiple of the required alignment.
DDERR_IMPLICITLYCREATED	The surface cannot be restored because it is an implicitly created surface.
DDERR_INCOMPATIBLEPRIMARY	The primary surface creation request does not match the existing primary surface.
DDERR_INVALIDCAPS	One or more of the capability bits passed to the callback function are incorrect.
DDERR_INVALIDCLIPLIST	DirectDraw does not support the provided clip list.
DDERR_INVALIDMODE	DirectDraw does not support the requested mode.
DDERR_INVALIDOBJECT	DirectDraw received a pointer that was an invalid DirectDraw object.
DDERR_INVALIDPARAMS	One or more of the parameters passed to the method are incorrect.
DDERR_INVALIDPIXELFORMAT	The pixel format was invalid as specified.
DDERR_INVALIDPOSITION	The position of the overlay on the destination is no longer valid.
DDERR_INVALIDRECT	The provided rectangle was invalid.
DDERR_LOCKEDSURFACES	One or more surfaces are locked, causing the failure of the requested operation.
DDERR_MOREDATA	There is more data available than the specified buffer size can hold.
DDERR_NOALPHAHW	No alpha acceleration hardware is present or available, causing the failure of the requested operation.
DDERR_NOBLTHW	No blitter hardware is present.
DDERR_NOCLIPLIST	No clip list is available.
DDERR_NOCLIPPERATTACHED	No DirectDrawClipper object is attached to the surface object.
DDERR_NOCOLORCONVHW	The operation cannot be carried out because no color-conversion hardware is present or available.
DDERR_NOCOLORKEYHW	The operation cannot be carried out because there is no hardware support for the destination color key.
DDERR_NOCOOPERATIVELEVELSET	A create function is called without the IDirectDraw::SetCooperativeLevel method being called.
DDERR_NODC	No DC has been created for this surface.
DDERR_NOFLIPHW	Flipping visible surfaces is not supported.
DDERR_NOOVERLAYDEST	The IDirectDrawSurface::GetOverlayPosition method is called on an overlay but the IDirectDrawSurface::UpdateOverlay method has not been called on to establish a destination.
DDERR_NOOVERLAYHW	The operation cannot be carried out because no overlay hardware is present or available.
DDERR_NOPALETTEATTACHED	No palette object is attached to this surface.
DDERR_NOPALETTEHW	There is no hardware support for 16- or 256-color palettes.
DDERR_NORASTEROPHW	The operation cannot be carried out because no appropriate raster operation hardware is present or available.
DDERR_NOSTRETCHHW	The operation cannot be carried out because there is no hardware support for stretching.
DDERR_NOTAOVERLAYSURFACE	An overlay component is called for a non-overlay surface.
DDERR_NOTFLIPPABLE	An attempt has been made to flip a surface that cannot be flipped.
DDERR_NOTFOUND	The requested item was not found.
DDERR_NOTLOCKED	An attempt is made to unlock a surface that was not locked.
DDERR_NOTPALETTIZED	The surface being used is not a palette-based surface.
DDERR_NOVSYNCHW	The operation cannot be carried out because there is no hardware support for vertical blank synchronized operations.
DDERR_NOZOVERLAYHW	Not supported.
DDERR_OUTOFCAPS	The hardware needed for the requested operation has already been allocated.
DDERR_OUTOFMEMORY	DirectDraw does not have enough memory to perform the operation.
DDERR_OUTOFVIDEOMEMORY	DirectDraw does not have enough display memory to perform the operation.
DDERR_OVERLAPPINGRECTS	Operation could not be carried out because the source and destination rectangles are on the same surface and overlap each other.
DDERR_OVERLAYNOTVISIBLE	The IDirectDrawSurface::GetOverlayPosition method is called on a hidden overlay.
DDERR_PALETTEBUSY	Access to this palette is refused because the palette is locked by another thread.
DDERR_PRIMARYSURFACEALREADYEXISTS	This process has already created a primary surface.
DDERR_REGIONTOOSMALL	The region passed to the IDirectDrawClipper::GetClipList method is too small.
DDERR_SURFACEBUSY	Access to the surface is refused because the surface is locked by another thread.
DDERR_SURFACELOST	Access to the surface is refused because the surface memory is gone. Call the IDirectDrawSurface::Restore method on this surface to restore the memory associated with it.
DDERR_TOOBIGHEIGHT	The height requested by DirectDraw is too large.
DDERR_TOOBIGSIZE	The size requested by DirectDraw is too large. However, the individual height and width are valid sizes.
DDERR_TOOBIGWIDTH	The width requested by DirectDraw is too large.
DDERR_UNSUPPORTED	The operation is not supported.
DDERR_UNSUPPORTEDFORMAT	The pixel format requested is not supported by DirectDraw.
DDERR_VERTICALBLANKINPROGRESS	A vertical blank is in progress.
DDERR_VIDEONOTACTIVE	The video port is not active.
DDERR_WASSTILLDRAWING	The previous blit operation that is transferring information to or from this surface is incomplete.
DDERR_WRONGMODE	This surface cannot be restored because it was created in a different mode.
