CLoadDirectDraw::LoadDirectDraw

  • Article

Loads and initializes the DirectDraw library in the specified area.

HRESULT LoadDirectDraw(
LPSTR szDevice );

Parameters

  • szDevice
    This parameter is optional; if omitted, this method loads DirectDraw to the base drawing area.

Return Values

Returns S_OK if DirectDraw loaded correctly or E_NOINTERFACE otherwise.

Remarks

DirectDraw is not always available, so applications can't statically link to the library. Therefore, this member function loads the library, gets the function entry point addresses, and calls them to create the driver objects. Call this member function before calling CLoadDirectDraw::GetDirectDraw to retrieve the IDirectDraw interface.
