D3DX11GetImageInfoFromFile function

  • Article

Note

The D3DX (D3DX 9, D3DX 10, and D3DX 11) utility library is deprecated for Windows 8 and is not supported for Windows Store apps.

Note

Instead of using this function, we recommend that you use the DirectXTex library, GetMetadataFromXXXFile (where XXX is WIC, DDS, or TGA; WIC doesn't support DDS and TGA; D3DX 9 supported TGA as a common art source format for games).

Retrieves information about a given image file.

Syntax

HRESULT D3DX11GetImageInfoFromFile(
  _In_  LPCTSTR           pSrcFile,
  _In_  ID3DX11ThreadPump *pPump,
  _In_  D3DX11_IMAGE_INFO *pSrcInfo,
  _Out_ HRESULT           *pHResult
);

Parameters

pSrcFile [in]

Type: LPCTSTR

File name of image to retrieve information about. If UNICODE or _UNICODE are defined, this parameter type is LPCWSTR, otherwise, the type is LPCSTR.

pPump [in]

Optional thread pump that can be used to load the info asynchronously. Can be NULL. See ID3DX11ThreadPump Interface.

pSrcInfo [in]

Type: D3DX11_IMAGE_INFO*

Pointer to a D3DX11_IMAGE_INFO to be filled with the description of the data in the source file.

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
