Remarks
This section contains the DirectDraw driver structure whose name has the form DDCORECAPS, which is the form used on Windows 98/Me. This structure is identical to that whose name has the form DDNTCORECAPS which is the form used on Windows 2000 and later versions. The include file dx95type.h contains a type define from DDNTCORECAPS to DDCORECAPS.
This structure mirrors the first entries of the DDCAPS structure, but is of a fixed size and does not grow as DDCAPS does.
The driver initializes DDCORECAPS when it is initializing the other members of the DD_HALINFO structure in its DrvGetDirectDrawInfo structure. The DirectDraw runtime might update some members.
DirectDraw requests additional driver capabilities by calling the DdGetDriverInfo function that is also returned in the DD_HALINFO structure.
