Indicates to the Microsoft Direct3D runtime not to alter the focus window in any way. Use with caution! The burden of supporting focus management events (ALT-TAB, and so on) falls on the application, and appropriate responses (switching display mode, and so on) should be coded.

Indicates that the application requested multithread safety in Microsoft Direct3D. This causes Microsoft Direct3D to check its global critical section more frequently, which can degrade performance. Starting in the Microsoft DirectX 9.0 SDK Update (Summer 2003), this enumerated value is always specified unless the is set to true.


Indicates that the application needs either floating-point unit (FPU) exceptions or double-precision FPU exceptions enabled.

A 16-bit packed RGB format analogous to YUY2 (Y0U0, Y1V0, Y2U2, etc.). It requires a pixel pair to properly represent the color value. The first pixel in the pair contains 8 bits of green (in the high 8 bits) and 8 bits of red (in the low 8 bits). The second pixel contains 8 bits of green (in the high 8 bits) and 8 bits of blue (in the low 8 bits). Together, the two pixels share the red and blue components, and each has a unique green component (G0R0, G1B0, G2R2, etc.). The texture sampler does not normalize the colors when looking up into a pixel shader; they remain in the range of 0.0f to 255.0f. This is true for all programmable pixel shader models. For the fixed function pixel shader, the hardware should normalize to the range of 0.f to 1.f and treat it as the YUY2 texture. Hardware that exposes this format must have set to a value capable of handling that range.

Light is a point source. The light has a position in space and radiates light in all directions.


Defines the type of lock to perform.


The application overwrites every location within the region being locked, using a write-only operation. This is a valid option when using dynamic textures, dynamic vertex buffers, and dynamic index buffers. For vertex and index buffers, the application discards the entire buffer. A pointer to a new memory area is returned so that the direct memory access (DMA) and rendering from the previous area do not stall. For textures, the application overwrites every location within the region being locked, using a write-only operation.


The application is allowed to gain back CPU cycles if the driver cannot lock the surface immediately. When this is the case, the lock call throws . This flag can be used only when calling . on surfaces created using . , . , or . . It also can be used with a back buffer.


By default, a lock on a resource adds a dirty region to that resource. This flag prevents any changes to the dirty state of the resource. Applications should use this flag when they have additional information about the set of regions changed during the lock operation.


By default, a video memory lock reserves a system-wide critical section, guaranteeing that no display mode changes will occur for the duration of the lock. This flag prevents the system-wide critical section from being held while the lock is on. While the lock operation is time-consuming, it enables the system to perform other duties, such as moving the mouse cursor. This flag is useful for locks of long duration; for example, locking the back buffer for software rendering that otherwise would slow the system.


The application is guaranteed not to overwrite any data in the vertex and index buffers. This flag allows the driver to return immediately and continue rendering, using this vertex buffer. If the flag is not used, the driver must finish rendering before returning from locking.


The application does not write to the buffer. This flag enables resources stored in non-native formats to save the recompression step when unlocking.


Use no locks.

Defines whether the current tessellation mode is discrete or continuous.


Continuous edge style. Tessellation is specified as float values, which can be varied smoothly to reduce popping artifacts.


Discrete edge style. Tessellation can be specified as float values, but they will be truncated to integers.


Defines the memory class that holds buffers for a resource.


Resources are placed in system RAM and do not need to be re-created when a device is lost. These resources are not bound by device size or format restrictions; therefore, they cannot be accessed by the Microsoft Direct3D device or set as textures or render targets. They can, however, always be created, locked, and copied.


Resources consume system RAM but do not reduce pageable RAM. System memory is not typically accessible by the 3-D device. These resources do not need to be re-created when a device is lost. They can be locked and also used as the source for a . or . operation to a memory resource created with .


Resources are copied automatically to device-accessible memory as needed. Managed resources are backed by system memory and do not need to be re-created when a device is lost. For more information, see .


Resources are placed in the memory pool most appropriate for the set of usages requested for the given resource. This is usually video memory, including both local video memory and accelerated graphics port memory. The pool is separate from and , and it specifies that the resource be placed in the preferred memory for device access. Note that never indicates that either or should be chosen as the memory pool type for this resource. Textures placed in the pool cannot be locked unless they are dynamic textures or private four-character code (FOURCC) driver formats. Accessing unlockable textures requires the use of functions such as . or . . is probably a better choice than for most applications. Some textures can be locked; for example, those created in driver proprietary pixel formats that are unknown to the Microsoft Direct3D runtime. Swap-chain back buffers, render targets, vertex buffers, and index buffers can be locked. When a device is lost, resources created using must be disposed of before calling . . Microsoft DirectX 9.0 for Managed Code automatically handles disposal of resources that need it, provided the . property is set to true (the default setting). For more information, see .


Defines flags that allow the application to request that the . return immediately when the driver reports that it cannot schedule a presentation.


Performs gamma correction from linear space to sRGB for windowed swap chains. This flag takes effect only when the driver exposes .


Performs the presentation operation without waiting. If the hardware is busy processing or waiting for a vertical sync interval, the method throws .


Returns the maximum number of back buffers supported.


Defines flags that control a . operation.


Informs the driver that the back buffers contain video data.


Clips a windowed . blit into the window client area, within the monitor screen area of the video adapter that created the Microsoft Direct3D device. This flag works only on Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP.


Enables z-buffer discarding if set when the device or swap chain is created. When this flag is set, the contents of the depth stencil buffer are invalid after either . or . are called. Discarding z-buffer data can increase performance and is dependent on the driver. The debug runtime enforces discarding by clearing the z-buffer to some constant value after calling either . or . with a different depth surface. Discarding z-buffer data is illegal for all lockable formats, , and . Using . to specify a lockable format and z-buffer discarding will result in failure. For more information about formats, see .


Gives the application the ability to lock the back buffer directly. Note that back buffers are not lockable unless the application specifies when calling . or . . Lockable back buffers incur a performance cost on some graphics hardware configurations. Performing a lock operation (or using . to write on the lockable back buffer) decreases performance on many cards. In this case, consider using textured triangles to move data to the back buffer.

Enables or disables range-based vertex fog. Set to true to enable range-based vertex fog, or false to use depth-based fog. The default value is false.In range-based fog, the distance of an object from the viewer is used to compute fog effects, not the depth of the object (that is, the z-coordinate) in the scene. All fog methods work as usual, except that they use range instead of depth in the computations. See .Range is the correct factor to use for fog computations, but depth is commonly used instead because it is generally already available, and range is resource-intensive to compute. Using depth to calculate fog has the undesirable effect of making the fogginess of peripheral objects change as the viewer's eye moves; in this case, the depth changes and the range remains constant. Because no hardware currently supports per-pixel range-based fog, range correction is offered only for .

The state has no effect when rendering to a single sample buffer.Each bit in the , starting at the least significant bit (LSB), controls modification of one of the samples in a multisample render target. Thus, for an 8-sample render target, the low byte contains the eight write enables for each of the eight samples. This property enables use of a multisample buffer as an accumulation buffer.

Defines swap effects.


When a swap chain is created with a swap effect of or , the runtime guarantees that a operation will not affect the content of any of the back buffers. However, meeting this guarantee can involve substantial video memory or processing overheads, especially when implementing flip semantics for a windowed swap chain or copy semantics for a full-screen swap chain. An application can use the swap effect to avoid these overheads and to enable the display driver to choose the most efficient presentation technique for the swap chain. is also the only swap effect that can be used when specifying a value other than for . . Like a swap chain that uses , a swap chain that uses might include more than one back buffer, any of which can be accessed using or . The swap chain is essentially a queue where 0 always indexes the back buffer that will be displayed by the next operation and from which buffers are discarded once they have been displayed. An application that uses this swap effect should update an entire back buffer before invoking a operation that displays it. The debug version of the runtime overwrites the contents of discarded back buffers with random data, to enable developers to verify that their applications are updating the entire back buffer surface correctly. For a full-screen swap chain, the presentation rate is determined by the value assigned to . when the device or swap chain is created. Unless this value is , the presentation is synchronized with the vertical sync of the monitor. For a windowed swap chain, the presentation is implemented by means of copy operations, and always occurs immediately.


This swap effect can be specified only for a swap chain that comprises a single back buffer. Whether the swap chain is windowed or full-screen, the runtime guarantees the semantics implied by a copy-based operation; specifically, that the operation leaves the content of the back buffer unchanged, instead of replacing it with the content of the front buffer as a flip-based operation would. For a windowed swap chain, a operation causes the back buffer content to be copied immediately to the client area of the target window. No attempt is made to synchronize the copy with the vertical retrace period of the display adapter, so tearing effects may be observed. For a full-screen swap chain, the runtime uses a combination of flip and copy operations, which are supported by hidden back buffers if necessary, to accomplish the operation. Accordingly, the presentation is synchronized with the display adapter's vertical retrace and its rate is constrained by the chosen presentation interval. A swap chain specified with the flag is the only exception. (For more information, see . .) In this case, a operation copies the back buffer content directly to the front buffer without waiting for the vertical retrace.


The swap chain might include multiple back buffers and is essentially a circular queue that includes the front buffer. Within this queue, the back buffers are always numbered sequentially from 0 to (n - 1), where n is the number of back buffers, so that 0 denotes the least recently presented buffer. When is invoked, the queue is rotated so that the front buffer becomes the back buffer (n - 1), while the back buffer 0 becomes the new front buffer. For a full-screen swap chain, the presentation rate is determined by the value assigned to the . when the device or swap chain is created. Unless this value is , the presentation is synchronized with the vertical sync of the monitor. For a windowed swap chain, the flipping is implemented by means of copy operations, and the presentation always occurs immediately.


Defines constants that describe the supported texture-addressing modes.


Similar to and . Takes the absolute value of the texture coordinate (thus, mirroring around 0), and then clamps to the maximum value. The most common usage is for volume textures, where support for the full texture-addressing mode is not necessary, but the data is symmetrical around the one axis.

Texture coordinates outside the range [0.0, 1.0] are set to the texture color at 0.0 or 1.0, respectively.
