IDirectDrawSurface7::Unlock method (ddraw.h)

  • Article

Notifies DirectDraw that the direct surface manipulations are complete.

Syntax

HRESULT Unlock(
  [in] LPRECT unnamedParam1
);

Parameters

[in] unnamedParam1

A pointer to a RECT structure that was used to lock the surface in the corresponding call to the IDirectDrawSurface7::Lock method. This parameter can be NULL only if the entire surface was locked by passing NULL in the lpDestRect parameter of the corresponding call to the IDirectDrawSurface7::Lock method.

Return value

If the method succeeds, the return value is DD_OK.

If it fails, the method can return one of the following error values:

  • DDERR_GENERIC
  • DDERR_INVALIDOBJECT
  • DDERR_INVALIDPARAMS
  • DDERR_INVALIDRECT
  • DDERR_NOTLOCKED
  • DDERR_SURFACELOST

Remarks

Because you can call IDirectDrawSurface7::Lock multiple times for the same surface with different destination rectangles, the pointer in lpRect links the calls to the IDirectDrawSurface7::Lock and IDirectDrawSurface7::Unlock methods.
