DDHAL_CANCREATESURFACEDATA (Windows CE 5.0)

Send Feedback

This structure indicates whether a surface can be created and passes that information to the DirectDraw hardware abstraction layer (DDHAL) CanCreateSurface callback function.

typedef struct _DDHAL_CANCREATESURFACEDATA {LPDDRAWI_DIRECTDRAW_GBLlpDD;LPDDSURFACEDESClpDDSurfaceDesc;DWORDbIsDifferentPixelFormat;HRESULTddRVal;LPDDAHL_CANCREATESURFACECanCreateSurface;} DDHAL_CANCREATESURFACEDATA;

Members

  • lpDD**
    Pointer to the DDRAWI_DIRECTDRAW_GBL structure that represents the DirectDraw object.
  • lpDDSurfaceDesc**
    Pointer to a DDSURFACEDESC structure that contains a description of the surface being created.
  • bIsDifferentPixelFormat
    Indicates whether the pixel format differs from the primary surface. This member is FALSE for z-buffers. However, drivers implementing the GetDriverInfo function with a GUID_ZPixelFormat instance should expect this member to be TRUE.
  • ddRVal**
    Passes the DirectDraw return values.
  • CanCreateSurface**
    Used by DirectDraw and should not be filled in by the driver.

Remarks

The bIsDifferentPixelFormat member is unreliable for z-buffers. Drivers should not rely on this field unless they have first checked that the surface in question is not a z-buffer Do this by checking for the presence of the DDSCAPS_ZBUFFER flag in the dwCaps member of the DDSCAPS structure pointed to by the ddsCaps member of the DDSURFACEDESC structure contained in the lpDDSurfaceDesc member of this structure.

Requirements

OS Versions: Windows CE 2.12 and later. Version 2.12 requires DXPAK 1.0 or later.
Header: Ddrawi.h.
