The following table shows values that are used in the SurfaceCaps member of the D3DMCAPS structure to describe the general nature of the surfaces that are supported by a device and which memory pools support which data types.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
D3DMSURFCAPS_LOCKBACKBUFFER |
Indicates that the device allows its back buffers to be locked. |
D3DMSURFCAPS_LOCKDEPTHBUFFER |
Indicates that the device allows its depth/stencil buffers to be locked. |
D3DMSURFCAPS_LOCKFRONTBUFFER |
Indicates that the device allows its front buffer to be locked. |
D3DMSURFCAPS_LOCKTEXTURE |
Indicates that the device allows its texture maps to be locked. |
D3DMSURFCAPS_MANAGEDPOOL |
Indicates that the device supports the managed memory pool for vertex buffers, index buffers, and texture maps. |
D3DMSURFCAPS_SYSBACKBUFFER |
Indicates that the device locates its render targets in the system memory pool. This capability bit is mutually exclusive with D3DMSURFCAPS_VIDBACKBUFFER. |
D3DMSURFCAPS_SYSDEPTHBUFFER |
Indicates that the device locates its depth and stencil buffers in the system memory pool. This capability bit is mutually exclusive with D3DMSURFCAPS_VIDDEPTHBUFFER. |
D3DMSURFCAPS_SYSFRONTBUFFER |
Indicates that the driver supports front buffers in system memory. This capability bit and D3DMSURFCAPS_VIDFRONTBUFFER are mutually exclusive. |
D3DMSURFCAPS_SYSIMAGESURFACE |
Indicates that the device allows you to allocate image surfaces in the system memory pool. |
D3DMSURFCAPS_SYSINDEXBUFFER |
Indicates that the device allows you to allocate index buffers in the system memory pool. |
D3DMSURFCAPS_SYSTEXTURE |
Indicates that the device allows you to allocate texture maps in the system memory pool. |
D3DMSURFCAPS_SYSVERTEXBUFFER |
Indicates that the device allows you to allocate vertex buffers in the system memory pool. |
D3DMSURFCAPS_VIDBACKBUFFER |
Indicates that the device locates its render targets in the video memory pool. This capability bit and D3DMSURFCAPS_SYSBACKBUFFER are mutually exclusive. |
D3DMSURFCAPS_VIDDEPTHBUFFER |
Indicates that the device locates its depth and stencil buffers in the video memory pool. This capability bit and D3DMSURFCAPS_SYSDEPTHBUFFER are is mutually exclusive. |
D3DMSURFCAPS_VIDFRONTBUFFER |
Indicates that the driver supports front buffers in video memory. This capability bit and D3DMSURFCAPS_SYSFRONTBUFFER are mutually exclusive. |
D3DMSURFCAPS_VIDIMAGESURFACE |
Indicates that the device allows you to the allocate of image surfaces in the video memory pool. |
D3DMSURFCAPS_VIDINDEXBUFFER |
Indicates that the device allows you to allocate index buffers in the video memory pool. |
D3DMSURFCAPS_VIDTEXTURE |
Indicates that the device allows you to allocate texture maps in the video memory pool. |
D3DMSURFCAPS_VIDVERTEXBUFFER |
Indicates that the device allows you to allocate vertex buffers in the video memory pool. |
