ID2D1EffectContext::CreateVertexBuffer method

Creates a vertex buffer or finds a standard vertex buffer and optionally initializes it with vertices. The returned buffer can be specified in the render info to specify both a vertex shader and or to pass custom vertices to the standard vertex shader used by Direct2D.

Syntax

HRESULT CreateVertexBuffer(
  [in]           const D2D1_VERTEX_BUFFER_PROPERTIES        *vertexBufferProperties,
  [in, optional] const GUID                                 *resourceId,
  [in, optional] const D2D1_CUSTOM_VERTEX_BUFFER_PROPERTIES *customVertexBufferProperties,
  [out]                ID2D1VertexBuffer                    **buffer
);

Parameters

vertexBufferProperties [in]

Type: const D2D1_VERTEX_BUFFER_PROPERTIES*

The properties used to describe the vertex buffer and vertex shader.

resourceId [in, optional]

Type: const GUID*

The unique id that identifies the vertex buffer.

customVertexBufferProperties [in, optional]

Type: const D2D1_CUSTOM_VERTEX_BUFFER_PROPERTIES*

The properties used to define a custom vertex buffer. If you use a built-in vertex shader, you don't have to specify this property.

buffer [out]

Type: ID2D1VertexBuffer**

The returned vertex buffer.
