    BYTE Method;
    BYTE Usage;
    BYTE UsageIndex;
} D3DVERTEXELEMENT9;

Members

Stream

Stream number.

Offset

Offset (if any) from the beginning of the stream to the start of the data.

Type

Data type. One of several predefined types that define the data size. For more information, see D3DDECLTYPE.

Method

Usage

Defines the intended use of the data. For more information, see D3DDECLUSAGE.

UsageIndex

Modifies the usage data to allow the user to specify multiple usage types.
