D3DKMTOpenAdapterFromGdiDisplayName function (d3dkmthk.h)

The D3DKMTOpenAdapterFromGdiDisplayName function maps a GDI device name to a graphics adapter handle and, if the adapter contains multiple monitor outputs, to one of those outputs.

Syntax

NTSTATUS D3DKMTOpenAdapterFromGdiDisplayName(
  D3DKMT_OPENADAPTERFROMGDIDISPLAYNAME *unnamedParam1
);

Parameters

unnamedParam1

pData [in, out]

A pointer to a D3DKMT_OPENADAPTERFROMGDIDISPLAYNAME structure that describes the parameters that are required to perform the mapping.

Return value

D3DKMTOpenAdapterFromGdiDisplayName returns one of the following values:

Return code	Description
STATUS_SUCCESS	The mapping was performed successfully.
STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER	Parameters were validated and determined to be incorrect or the Windows Vista display driver model was not used.

This function might also return other NTSTATUS values.

Remarks

A graphics adapter corresponds to a video card. A monitor output corresponds to a head on a video card. A system with a single video card contains only one adapter. However, if the video card supports multiple heads, it supports outputting to multiple monitors.
