);

Parameters

pFileName [in]

Type: LPCTSTR

Name of the ASCII effect file. If the compiler settings require Unicode, the data type LPCTSTR resolves to LPCWSTR. Otherwise, the data type resolves to LPCSTR.

pDefines [in]

Type: const D3D_SHADER_MACRO*

A NULL-terminated array of shader macros (see D3D_SHADER_MACRO); set this to NULL to specify no macros.

pInclude [in]

Type: ID3D10Include*

A pointer to an include interface (see ID3D10Include Interface). This parameter can be NULL.

pProfile [in]

Type: LPCSTR

A string that specifies the shader profile, or shader model.

HLSLFlags [in]

Type: UINT

HLSL compile options (see D3D10_SHADER Constants).

FXFlags [in]

Type: UINT

Effect compile options (see Compile and Effect Flags).

pDevice [in]

Type: ID3D10Device*

A pointer to the device (see ID3D10Device Interface) that will use the resources.

pEffectPool [in]

Type: ID3D10EffectPool*

Pointer to an effect pool (see ID3D10EffectPool Interface) for sharing variables between effects.

pPump [in]

Type: ID3DX10ThreadPump*

A pointer to a thread pump interface (see ID3DX10ThreadPump Interface). Use NULL to specify that this function should not return until it is completed.

ppEffect [out]

Type: ID3D10Effect**

Address of a pointer to the effect (see ID3D10Effect Interface) that is created.

ppErrors [out]

Type: ID3D10Blob**

The address of a pointer to memory (see ID3D10Blob Interface) that contains effect compile errors, if there were any.

pHResult [out]

Type: HRESULT*

A pointer to the return value. May be NULL. If pPump is not NULL, then pHResult must be a valid memory location until the asynchronous execution completes.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

The return value is one of the values listed in Direct3D 10 Return Codes.
