D3DXCreateCubeTextureFromFile function
Creates a cube texture from a file.
Syntax
HRESULT D3DXCreateCubeTextureFromFile(
_In_ LPDIRECT3DDEVICE9 pDevice,
_In_ LPCTSTR pSrcFile,
_Out_ LPDIRECT3DCUBETEXTURE9 *ppCubeTexture
);
Parameters
-
pDevice [in]
-
Type: LPDIRECT3DDEVICE9
Pointer to an IDirect3DDevice9 interface, representing the device to be associated with the cube texture.
-
pSrcFile [in]
-
Type: LPCTSTR
Pointer to a string that specifies the filename. If the compiler settings require Unicode, the data type LPCTSTR resolves to LPCWSTR. Otherwise, the string data type resolves to LPCSTR. See Remarks.
-
ppCubeTexture [out]
-
Type: LPDIRECT3DCUBETEXTURE9*
Address of a pointer to an IDirect3DCubeTexture9 interface, representing the created cube texture object.
Return value
Type: HRESULT
If the function succeeds, the return value is D3D_OK. If the function fails, the return value can be one of the following values: D3DERR_INVALIDCALL, D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE, D3DERR_OUTOFVIDEOMEMORY, D3DXERR_INVALIDDATA, E_OUTOFMEMORY.
Remarks
The compiler setting also determines the function version. If Unicode is defined, the function call resolves to D3DXCreateCubeTextureFromFileW. Otherwise, the function call resolves to D3DXCreateCubeTextureFromFileA because ANSI strings are being used.
The function is equivalent to D3DXCreateCubeTextureFromFileEx(pDevice, pSrcFile, D3DX_DEFAULT, D3DX_DEFAULT, 0, D3DFMT_UNKNOWN, D3DPOOL_MANAGED, D3DX_DEFAULT, D3DX_DEFAULT, 0, NULL, NULL, ppCubeTexture).
This function supports the following file formats: .bmp, .dds, .dib, .hdr, .jpg, .pfm, .png, .ppm, and .tga. See D3DXIMAGE_FILEFORMAT.
Note that a resource created with this function when called from a IDirect3DDevice9 object will be placed in the memory class denoted by D3DPOOL_MANAGED. When this method is called from a IDirect3DDevice9Ex object the resource will be placed in the memory class denoted by D3DPOOL_DEFAULT.
Filtering is automatically applied to a texture created using this method. The filtering is equivalent to D3DX_FILTER_TRIANGLE | D3DX_FILTER_DITHER in D3DX_FILTER.
D3DXCreateCubeTextureFromFile uses the DirectDraw surface (DDS) file format. The DirectX Texture Editor (Dxtex.exe) enables you to generate a cube map from other file formats and save it in the DDS file format. You can get Dxtex.exe and learn about it from the DirectX SDK.
