Example of Handle Assignments

The following table shows an example arrangement of Direct3D handle values (supplied through D3dCreateSurfaceEx) that might be present in a two-head scenario. The front, back and depth/stencil surfaces on each head all have unique handles; the master head must work with all of these handles. The master head owns all texture, vertex buffer, and index buffer surfaces; handles for these surfaces are only created on the master head.

Master head handle value	Subordinate head handle value	Surface
0		Front buffer for master
1		Back buffer for master
2		Depth buffer for master
	3	Front buffer for subordinate
	4	Back buffer for subordinate
	5	Depth buffer for subordinate
6		Texture 1 for master
7		Texture 2 for master
8		Texture 3 for master
