The IDirectDrawSurface interface is exposed on DirectDrawSurface objects that are used in the DirectShow multimedia streaming APIs.
In addition to the methods inherited from IUnknown, the IDirectDrawSurface interface contains the following methods.
| Method | Description |
| AddAttachedSurface | Attaches a Surface to another Surface. |
| AddOverlayDirtyRect | Used to build up the list of the rectangles that need to be updated the next time the UpdateOverlayDisplay method is called. |
| Blt | Performs a bit block transfer. |
| BltBatch | Performs a sequence of Blt operations from several sources to a single destination. |
| BltFast | Performs a source copy blit or transparent blit using a source or destination color key. |
| DeleteAttachedSurfaces | Detaches two attached surfaces. |
| EnumAttachedSurfaces | Enumerates all the surfaces attached to a given surface. |
| EnumOverlayZOrders | Enumerates the overlays on the specified destination. |
| Flip | Makes the surface memory associated with the DDSCAPS_BACKBUFFER surface become associated with the FRONTBUFFER surface. |
| GetAttachedSurface | Finds the attached surface that has the specified capabilities. |
| GetBltStatus | Returns the blitter status. |
| GetCaps | Returns the capabilities of the surface. |
| GetClipper | Returns the DirectDrawClipper associated with this surface. |
| GetColorKey | Returns the color key value for the DirectDrawSurface object. |
| GetDC | Creates a GDI device context for the surface. |
| GetFlipStatus | Returns OK if the surface that it is called on has finished its flipping process, otherwise it returns WASSTILLDRAWING. |
| GetOverlayPosition | Returns the display coordinates of the surface, given a visible, active overlay surface (DDSCAPS_OVERLAY set). |
| GetPalette | Returns the IDirectDrawPalette interface associated with this surface. |
| GetPixelFormat | Returns the color and pixel format of the surface. |
| GetSurfaceDesc | Returns a DDSURFACEDESC structure describing the surface in its current condition. |
| Initialize | Initializes a DirectDrawSurface. |
| IsLost | Determines if the surface memory associated with a DirectDrawSurface has been freed. |
| Lock | Obtains a valid pointer to the surface memory. |
| ReleaseDC | Releases the device context previously obtained with GetDC. |
| Restore | Restores a surface that has been "lost" (the surface memory associated with the DirectDrawSurface object has been freed). |
| SetClipper | Attaches a DirectDrawClipper to a DirectDrawSurface. |
| SetColorKey | Sets the color key value for the DirectDrawSurface object if the hardware supports color keys on a per surface basis. |
| SetOverlayPosition | Changes the display coordinates of an overlay surface. |
| SetPalette | Attachs the specified palette to the surface. |
| Unlock | Notifies DirectDraw that the surface manipulations are complete. |
| UpdateOverlay | Repositions and modifies the visual attributes of an overlay surface. |
| UpdateOverlayDisplay | Repaints the rectangles in the dirty rectangle lists of all active overlays. |
| UpdateOverlayZOrder | Sets the z order of an overlay. |
