DirectDraw Return Values (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

Errors are represented by negative values and cannot be combined.

This table lists the values that can be returned by all methods of the IDirectDraw, IDirectDrawSurface, and IDirectDrawClipper interfaces.

For a list of the error codes that each method can return, see the method description.

Return code Description

DD_OK

The request completed successfully.

DDERR_CANTCREATEDC

Windows cannot create any more device contexts (DCs), or a DC was requested for a palette-indexed surface when the surface had no palette and the display mode was not palette-indexed (that is, DirectDraw cannot select a proper palette into the DC).

DDERR_CANTLOCKSURFACE

Access to this surface is refused because an attempt was made to lock the primary surface without DCI support.

DDERR_CLIPPERISUSINGHWND

An attempt was made to set a clip list for a DirectDrawClipper object that is already monitoring a window handle.

DDERR_COLORKEYNOTSET

No source color key is specified for this operation.

DDERR_CURRENTLYNOTAVAIL

No support is currently available.

DDERR_DCALREADYCREATED

A device context (DC) has already been returned for this surface. Only one DC can be retrieved for each surface.

DDERR_DEVICEDOESNTOWNSURFACE

Surfaces created by one DirectDraw device cannot be used directly by another DirectDraw device.

DDERR_DIRECTDRAWALREADYCREATED

A DirectDraw object representing this driver has already been created for this process.

DDERR_EXCLUSIVEMODEALREADYSET

An attempt was made to set the cooperative level when it was already set to exclusive.

DDERR_GENERIC

There is an undefined error condition.

DDERR_HEIGHTALIGN

The height of the provided rectangle is not a multiple of the required alignment.

DDERR_IMPLICITLYCREATED

The surface cannot be restored because it is an implicitly created surface.

DDERR_INCOMPATIBLEPRIMARY

The primary surface creation request does not match the existing primary surface.

DDERR_INVALIDCAPS

One or more of the capability bits passed to the callback function are incorrect.

DDERR_INVALIDCLIPLIST

DirectDraw does not support the provided clip list.

DDERR_INVALIDMODE

DirectDraw does not support the requested mode.

DDERR_INVALIDOBJECT

DirectDraw received a pointer that was an invalid DirectDraw object.

DDERR_INVALIDPARAMS

One or more of the parameters passed to the method are incorrect.

DDERR_INVALIDPIXELFORMAT

The pixel format was invalid as specified.

DDERR_INVALIDPOSITION

The position of the overlay on the destination is no longer valid.

DDERR_INVALIDRECT

The provided rectangle was invalid.

DDERR_LOCKEDSURFACES

One or more surfaces are locked, causing the failure of the requested operation.

DDERR_MOREDATA

There is more data available than the specified buffer size can hold.

DDERR_NOALPHAHW

No alpha acceleration hardware is present or available, causing the failure of the requested operation.

DDERR_NOBLTHW

No blitter hardware is present.

DDERR_NOCLIPLIST

No clip list is available.

DDERR_NOCLIPPERATTACHED

No DirectDrawClipper object is attached to the surface object.

DDERR_NOCOLORCONVHW

The operation cannot be carried out because no color-conversion hardware is present or available.

DDERR_NOCOLORKEYHW

The operation cannot be carried out because there is no hardware support for the destination color key.

DDERR_NOCOOPERATIVELEVELSET

A create function is called without the IDirectDraw::SetCooperativeLevel method being called.

DDERR_NODC

No DC has been created for this surface.

DDERR_NOFLIPHW

Flipping visible surfaces is not supported.

DDERR_NOOVERLAYDEST

The IDirectDrawSurface::GetOverlayPosition method is called on an overlay but the IDirectDrawSurface::UpdateOverlay method has not been called on to establish a destination.

DDERR_NOOVERLAYHW

The operation cannot be carried out because no overlay hardware is present or available.

DDERR_NOPALETTEATTACHED

No palette object is attached to this surface.

DDERR_NOPALETTEHW

There is no hardware support for 16- or 256-color palettes.

DDERR_NORASTEROPHW

The operation cannot be carried out because no appropriate raster operation hardware is present or available.

DDERR_NOSTRETCHHW

The operation cannot be carried out because there is no hardware support for stretching.

DDERR_NOTAOVERLAYSURFACE

An overlay component is called for a non-overlay surface.

DDERR_NOTFLIPPABLE

An attempt has been made to flip a surface that cannot be flipped.

DDERR_NOTFOUND

The requested item was not found.

DDERR_NOTLOCKED

An attempt is made to unlock a surface that was not locked.

DDERR_NOTPALETTIZED

The surface being used is not a palette-based surface.

DDERR_NOVSYNCHW

The operation cannot be carried out because there is no hardware support for vertical blank synchronized operations.

DDERR_NOZOVERLAYHW

Not supported.

DDERR_OUTOFCAPS

The hardware needed for the requested operation has already been allocated.

DDERR_OUTOFMEMORY

DirectDraw does not have enough memory to perform the operation.

DDERR_OUTOFVIDEOMEMORY

DirectDraw does not have enough display memory to perform the operation.

DDERR_OVERLAPPINGRECTS

Operation could not be carried out because the source and destination rectangles are on the same surface and overlap each other.

DDERR_OVERLAYNOTVISIBLE

The IDirectDrawSurface::GetOverlayPosition method is called on a hidden overlay.

DDERR_PALETTEBUSY

Access to this palette is refused because the palette is locked by another thread.

DDERR_PRIMARYSURFACEALREADYEXISTS

This process has already created a primary surface.

DDERR_REGIONTOOSMALL

The region passed to the IDirectDrawClipper::GetClipList method is too small.

DDERR_SURFACEBUSY

Access to the surface is refused because the surface is locked by another thread.

DDERR_SURFACELOST

Access to the surface is refused because the surface memory is gone. Call the IDirectDrawSurface::Restore method on this surface to restore the memory associated with it.

DDERR_TOOBIGHEIGHT

The height requested by DirectDraw is too large.

DDERR_TOOBIGSIZE

The size requested by DirectDraw is too large. However, the individual height and width are valid sizes.

DDERR_TOOBIGWIDTH

The width requested by DirectDraw is too large.

DDERR_UNSUPPORTED

The operation is not supported.

DDERR_UNSUPPORTEDFORMAT

The pixel format requested is not supported by DirectDraw.

DDERR_VERTICALBLANKINPROGRESS

A vertical blank is in progress.

DDERR_VIDEONOTACTIVE

The video port is not active.

DDERR_WASSTILLDRAWING

The previous blit operation that is transferring information to or from this surface is incomplete.

DDERR_WRONGMODE

This surface cannot be restored because it was created in a different mode.
