D3DX11CreateTextureFromMemory function

Note

The D3DX (D3DX 9, D3DX 10, and D3DX 11) utility library is deprecated for Windows 8 and is not supported for Windows Store apps.

Note

Instead of using this function, we recommend that you use these:

• DirectXTK library (runtime), CreateXXXTextureFromMemory (where XXX is DDS or WIC)
• DirectXTex library (tools), LoadFromXXXMemory (where XXX is WIC, DDS, or TGA; WIC doesn't support DDS and TGA; D3DX 9 supported TGA as a common art source format for games) then CreateTexture

Create a texture resource from a file residing in system memory.

Syntax

HRESULT D3DX11CreateTextureFromMemory(
  _In_  ID3D11Device           *pDevice,
  _In_  LPCVOID                pSrcData,
  _In_  SIZE_T                 SrcDataSize,
  _In_  D3DX11_IMAGE_LOAD_INFO *pLoadInfo,
  _In_  ID3DX11ThreadPump      *pPump,
  _Out_ ID3D11Resource         **ppTexture,
  _Out_ HRESULT                *pHResult
);

Parameters

pDevice [in]

Type: ID3D11Device*

A pointer to the device (see ID3D11Device) that will use the resource.

pSrcData [in]

Type: LPCVOID

Pointer to the resource in system memory.

SrcDataSize [in]

Type: SIZE_T

Size of the resource in system memory.

pLoadInfo [in]

Type: D3DX11_IMAGE_LOAD_INFO*

Optional. Identifies the characteristics of a texture (see D3DX11_IMAGE_LOAD_INFO) when the data processor is created; set this to NULL to read the characteristics of a texture when the texture is loaded.

pPump [in]

Type: ID3DX11ThreadPump*

A pointer to a thread pump interface (see ID3DX11ThreadPump Interface). If NULL is specified, this function will behave synchronously and will not return until it is finished.

ppTexture [out]

Type: ID3D11Resource**

Address of a pointer to the created resource. See ID3D11Resource.

pHResult [out]

Type: HRESULT*

A pointer to the return value. May be NULL. If pPump is not NULL, then pHResult must be a valid memory location until the asynchronous execution completes.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

The return value is one of the values listed in Direct3D 11 Return Codes.
