Return value
Type: HRESULT
The method returns an HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.
| HRESULT | Description |
|---|---|
| S_OK | No error occurred. |
| E_OUTOFMEMORY | Direct2D could not allocate sufficient memory to complete the call. |
| E_INVALIDARG | An invalid value was passed to the method. |
| D3DERR_OUTOFVIDEOMEMORY | Direct3D does not have enough display memory to perform the operation. |
| D2DERR_EFFECT_IS_NOT_REGISTERED | The specified effect is not registered by the system. |
| E_NOTFOUND | Other possible HRESULT for an effect not being registered (like D2DERR_EFFECT_IS_NOT_REGISTERED). |
| D2DERR_INSUFFICIENT_DEVICE_CAPABILITIES | The effect requires capabilities not supported by the D2D device. |
Remarks
If the created effect is a custom effect that is implemented in a DLL, this doesn't increment the reference count for that DLL. If the application deletes an effect while that effect is loaded, the resulting behavior is unpredictable.
