IDirectDrawSurface::Restore

Send Feedback

This method restores a surface that has been lost. The restore occurs when the surface memory associated with the DirectDrawSurface object has been freed.

HRESULT Restore();

Parameters

None.

Return Values

If the method succeeds or if the surface was not already lost, the return value is DD_OK.

If the method fails, the return value may be one of the following error values:

DDERR_GENERIC
DDERR_NOTFOUND
DDERR_EXCLUSIVEMODEALREADYSET
DDERR_INVALIDPARAMS
DDERR_OUTOFMEMORY
DDERR_UNSUPPORTED

Remarks

Use this method to restore surfaces if operations on those surfaces are returning DDERR_SURFACELOST. Some surfaces can be lost when the display is rotated or another process calls IDirectDraw::SetCooperativeLevel with DDSCL_FULLSCREEN. If another process has entered fullscreen mode, calling Restore on a primary surface will result in DDERR_EXCLUSIVEMODEALREADYSET.

Requirements

Pocket PC: Windows Mobile 5.0 and later
Smartphone: Windows Mobile 5.0 and later
OS Versions: Windows CE 5.01 and later
