DDCAPS (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

This structure represents the capabilities of the hardware exposed through the DirectDraw object.

This structure contains a DDSCAPS structure used in this context to describe what kinds of DirectDrawSurface objects can be created. It may not be possible to simultaneously create all surfaces described by these capabilities.

This structure is used with the IDirectDraw::GetCaps method.

Members

  • dwSize
    Size of the structure, in bytes. This member must be initialized before the structure is used.
  • dwCKeyCaps
    Color-key capabilities. The following table shows the possible flags.

    Flag Description

    DDCKEYCAPS_BOTHBLT

    Supports transparent blitting with for both source and destination surfaces.

    DDCKEYCAPS_DESTBLT

    Supports transparent blitting with a color key that identifies the replaceable bits of the destination surface for RGB colors.

    DDCKEYCAPS_DESTBLTCLRSPACE

    Supports transparent blitting with a color space that identifies the replaceable bits of the destination surface for RGB colors.

    DDCKEYCAPS_DESTBLTCLRSPACEYUV

    Supports transparent blitting with a color space that identifies the replaceable bits of the destination surface for YUV colors.

    DDCKEYCAPS_SRCBLT

    Supports transparent blitting using the color key for the source with this surface for RGB colors.

    DDCKEYCAPS_SRCBLTCLRSPACE

    Supports transparent blitting using a color space for the source with this surface for RGB colors.

    DDCKEYCAPS_SRCBLTCLRSPACEYUV

    Supports transparent blitting using a color space for the source with this surface for YUV colors.

  • dwPalCaps
    Palette capabilities.

    The following table shows the possible flags.

    Flag Description

    DDPCAPS_ALPHA

    Supports palettes that include an alpha component.

    For alpha-capable palettes, the peFlags member of for each PALETTEENTRY structure the palette contains is to be interpreted as a single 8-bit alpha value (in addition to the color data in the peRed, peGreen, and peBlue members).

    A palette created with this flag can only be attached to a texture surface.

    DDPCAPS_PRIMARYSURFACE

    Indicates that the palette is attached to the primary surface.

    Changing the palette has an immediate effect on the display unless the DDPCAPS_VSYNC capability is specified and supported.

  • dwVidMemTotal
    Total amount of display memory on the device, in bytes, minus the memory reserved for the primary surface and any private data structures reserved by the driver.

  • dwVidMemFree
    Free display memory.

    This value equals the value in dwVidMemTotal, minus any memory currently allocated by the application for surfaces.

    Unlike the GetAvailableVidMem method, which reports the memory available for a particular type of surface, such as a texture, this value reflects the memory available for any type of surface.

    Overlay source rectangles must have a pixel width that is a multiple of this value.

  • dwAlignBoundaryDest
    Destination rectangle alignment, in pixels, for an overlay surface.

    Minimum and maximum overlay stretch factors multiplied by 1000.

    For example, 1.3 x 1000 = 1300.

    Miscellaneous video capabilities.

    The following table shows the possible flags.
