IDirectDraw4::GetScanLine
The IDirectDraw4::GetScanLine method retrieves the scan line that is currently being drawn on the monitor.
HRESULT GetScanLine(
LPDWORD lpdwScanLine);
Parameters
- lpdwScanLine
Address of the variable that will contain the scan line the display is currently drawing.
Return Values
If the method succeeds, the return value is DD_OK.
If the method fails, the return value may be one of the following error values:
| DDERR_INVALIDOBJECT |
| DDERR_INVALIDPARAMS |
| DDERR_UNSUPPORTED |
| DDERR_VERTICALBLANKINPROGRESS |
Remarks
Scan lines are reported as zero-based integers. The returned scan line value is between 0 and n, where scan line 0 is the first visible scan line on the screen and n is the last visible scan line, plus any scan lines that occur during the vertical blank period. So, in a case where an application is running at 640×480, and there are 12 scan lines during vblank, the values returned by this method will range from 0 to 491.
