IDirect3DSurface9 Interface

Applications use the methods of the IDirect3DSurface9 interface to query and prepare surfaces.

IDirect3DSurface9 Members

GetContainer
Provides access to the parent cube texture or texture (mipmap) object, if this surface is a child level of a cube texture or a mipmap. This method can also provide access to the parent swap chain if the surface is a back-buffer child.
GetDC
Retrieves a device context.
GetDesc
Retrieves a description of the surface.
LockRect
Locks a rectangle on a surface.
ReleaseDC
Release a device context handle.
UnlockRect
Unlocks a rectangle on a surface.

Remarks

This interface, like all Component Object Model (COM) interfaces, inherits from the IUnknown interface.
The LPDIRECT3DSURFACE9 and PDIRECT3DSURFACE9 types are defined as pointers to the IDirect3DSurface9 interface.
typedef struct IDirect3DSurface9 *LPDIRECT3DSURFACE9, *PDIRECT3DSURFACE9;
