D3DLIGHTINGCAPS structure (d3dcaps.h)

Obsolete in DirectX 8.0 and later versions; see Remarks.

The D3DLIGHTINGCAPS structure describes the lighting capabilities of a device.

Syntax

typedef struct _D3DLIGHTINGCAPS {
  DWORD dwSize;
  DWORD dwCaps;
  DWORD dwLightingModel;
  DWORD dwNumLights;
} D3DLIGHTINGCAPS, *LPD3DLIGHTINGCAPS;

Members

dwSize

Specifies the size, in bytes, of the D3DLIGHTINGCAPS structure.

dwCaps

Specifies flags describing the capabilities of the lighting module. The following flags are defined:

Value	Meaning
D3DLIGHTCAPS_DIRECTIONAL	Directional lights are supported.
D3DLIGHTCAPS_GLSPOT	OpenGL-style spotlights are supported.
D3DLIGHTCAPS_PARALLELPOINT	Parallel-point lights are supported.
D3DLIGHTCAPS_POINT	Point lights are supported.
D3DLIGHTCAPS_SPOT	Spotlights are supported.

dwLightingModel

Specifies flags indicating whether the lighting model is RGB or monochrome. The following flags are defined:

Value	Meaning

dwNumLights

Specifies the number of lights that can be handled.

Remarks

This structure has been replaced by D3DCAPS8 (see the DirectX 8.0 SDK documentation) for DirectX 8.0 and later runtimes, but is required for DirectX 7.0 and earlier runtime compatibility. See Reporting DirectX 8.0 Style Direct3D Capabilities for details.

This structure is a member of the D3DDEVICEDESC_V1 structure.
