| IDXGIAdapter4 |
This interface represents a display subsystem, and extends this family of interfaces to expose a method to check for an adapter's compatibility with Arbitrary Code Guard (ACG). |
| IDXGIDebug |
This interface controls debug settings, and can only be used if the debug layer is turned on. |
| IDXGIDebug1 |
Controls debug settings for Microsoft DirectX Graphics Infrastructure (DXGI). You can use the IDXGIDebug1 interface in Windows Store apps. |
| IDXGIDecodeSwapChain |
Represents a swap chain that is used by desktop media apps to decode video data and show it on a DirectComposition surface. |
| IDXGIDevice |
An IDXGIDevice interface implements a derived class for DXGI objects that produce image data. |
| IDXGIDevice1 |
An IDXGIDevice1 interface implements a derived class for DXGI objects that produce image data. |
| IDXGIDevice2 |
The IDXGIDevice2 interface implements a derived class for DXGI objects that produce image data. The interface exposes methods to block CPU processing until the GPU completes processing, and to offer resources to the operating system. |
| IDXGIDevice3 |
The IDXGIDevice3 interface implements a derived class for DXGI objects that produce image data. The interface exposes a method to trim graphics memory usage by the DXGI device. |
| IDXGIDevice4 |
This interface provides updated methods to offer and reclaim resources. |
| IDXGIDeviceSubObject |
Inherited from objects that are tied to the device so that they can retrieve a pointer to it. |
| IDXGIDisplayControl |
The IDXGIDisplayControl interface exposes methods to indicate user preference for the operating system's stereoscopic 3D display behavior and to set stereoscopic 3D display status to enable or disable. |
| IDXGIFactory |
An IDXGIFactory interface implements methods for generating DXGI objects (which handle full screen transitions). |
| IDXGIFactory1 |
The IDXGIFactory1 interface implements methods for generating DXGI objects. |
| IDXGIFactory2 |
The IDXGIFactory2 interface includes methods to create a newer version swap chain with more features than IDXGISwapChain and to monitor stereoscopic 3D capabilities. |
| IDXGIFactory3 |
Enables creating DXGI objects. |
| IDXGIFactory4 |
Enables creating DXGI objects. |
| IDXGIFactory5 |
This interface enables a single method to support variable refresh rate displays. |
| IDXGIFactory6 |
This interface enables a single method that enumerates graphics adapters based on a given GPU preference. |
| IDXGIFactoryMedia |
Creates swap chains for desktop media apps that use DirectComposition surfaces to decode and display video. |
| IDXGIInfoQueue |
This interface controls the debug information queue, and can only be used if the debug layer is turned on. |
| IDXGIKeyedMutex |
Represents a keyed mutex, which allows exclusive access to a shared resource that is used by multiple devices. |
| IDXGIObject |
An IDXGIObject interface is a base interface for all DXGI objects; IDXGIObject supports associating caller-defined (private data) with an object and retrieval of an interface to the parent object. |
| IDXGIOutput |
An IDXGIOutput interface represents an adapter output (such as a monitor). |
| IDXGIOutput1 |
An IDXGIOutput1 interface represents an adapter output (such as a monitor). |
| IDXGIOutput2 |
Represents an adapter output (such as a monitor). The IDXGIOutput2 interface exposes a method to check for multiplane overlay support on the primary output adapter. |
| IDXGIOutput3 |
Represents an adapter output (such as a monitor). The IDXGIOutput3 interface exposes a method to check for overlay support. |
| IDXGIOutput4 |
Represents an adapter output (such as a monitor). The IDXGIOutput4 interface exposes a method to check for overlay color space support. |
| IDXGIOutput5 |
Represents an adapter output (such as a monitor). The IDXGIOutput5 interface exposes a single method to specify a list of supported formats for fullscreen surfaces. |
| IDXGIOutput6 |
Represents an adapter output (such as a monitor). The IDXGIOutput6 interface exposes methods to provide specific monitor capabilities. |
| IDXGIOutputDuplication |
The IDXGIOutputDuplication interface accesses and manipulates the duplicated desktop image. |
| IDXGIResource |
An IDXGIResource interface allows resource sharing and identifies the memory that a resource resides in. |
| IDXGIResource1 |
An IDXGIResource1 interface extends the IDXGIResource interface by adding support for creating a subresource surface object and for creating a handle to a shared resource. |
| IDXGISurface |
The IDXGISurface interface implements methods for image-data objects. |
| IDXGISurface1 |
The IDXGISurface1 interface extends the IDXGISurface by adding support for using Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) to render to a DXGI surface. |
| IDXGISurface2 |
The IDXGISurface2 interface extends the IDXGISurface1 interface by adding support for subresource surfaces and getting a handle to a shared resource. |
| IDXGISwapChain |
An IDXGISwapChain interface implements one or more surfaces for storing rendered data before presenting it to an output. |
| IDXGISwapChain1 |
Provides presentation capabilities that are enhanced from IDXGISwapChain. These presentation capabilities consist of specifying dirty rectangles and scroll rectangle to optimize the presentation. |
| IDXGISwapChain2 |
Extends IDXGISwapChain1 with methods to support swap back buffer scaling and lower-latency swap chains. |
| IDXGISwapChain3 |
Extends IDXGISwapChain2 with methods to support getting the index of the swap chain's current back buffer and support for color space. |
| IDXGISwapChain4 |
This interface exposes a single method for setting video metadata. |
| IDXGISwapChainMedia |
This swap chain interface allows desktop media applications to request a seamless change to a specific refresh rate. |
