IDCompositionSurface::SuspendDraw method (dcomp.h)

Suspends the drawing on this Microsoft DirectComposition surface object.

Syntax

HRESULT SuspendDraw();

If the function succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code, which can include DCOMPOSITION_ERROR_SURFACE_BEING_RENDERED and DCOMPOSITION_ERROR_SURFACE_NOT_BEING_RENDERED.

Because only one surface can be open for drawing at a time, calling SuspendDraw allows the user to call IDCompositionSurface::BeginDraw on a different surface. Drawing to this surface can be resumed by calling IDCompositionSurface::ResumeDraw.
