Clip lists are managed by DirectDraw using the DirectDrawClipper object. A clipper can be attached to any surface. A window handle can also be attached to a clipper, in which case DirectDraw will update the clipper's clip list with the clip list for the window as it changes.
In addition to the methods inherited from IUnknown, the IDirectDrawClipper interface contains the following methods.
| Method | Description |
| GetClipList | Returns a copy of the clip list associated with a clipper. |
| GetHWnd | Returns the hWnd previously associated with this clipper using the SetHWnd method. |
| Initialize | Initializes a clipper. |
| IsClipListChanged | If a window handle is associated with a clipper, this method can be used to monitor the status of the clip list. |
| SetClipList | Sets or deletes the clip list. |
| SetHWnd | Sets the HWnd that will be used to obtain clipping information. |
