NtGdiDdCreateDirectDrawObject function
[This function is subject to change with each operating system revision. Instead, use the DirectDraw and Microsoft Direct3DAPIs; these APIs insulate applications from such operating system changes, and hide many other difficulties involved in interacting directly with display drivers.]
Creates a kernel-side representation of the Microsoft DirectDraw object.
Syntax
HANDLE APIENTRY NtGdiDdCreateDirectDrawObject(
_In_ HDC hdc
);
Parameters
-
hdc [in]
-
Any DC display device for which the DirectDraw object should be created.
Return value
If successful, this function returns a handle to the kernel-mode object representation; otherwise it returns NULL.
Remarks
Applications are advised to use the DirectDraw and Direct3D APIs to create and manage graphics device objects. These constructs abstract the device creation process in a simplified and operating-system-independent way.
