ID3DXEffect Interface

Used to set and query effects, and to choose techniques. An effect object can contain multiple techniques to render the same effect.

ID3DXEffect Members

Begin Begins the application of the technique.

GetVectorArray Gets an array of vectors.
GetVertexShader Gets a vertex shader.
IsParameterUsed
Determines if a parameter is used by the technique.
OnLostDevice
Releases all references to video memory resources and deletes all state blocks.
OnResetDevice
Should be called after the device has been reset.
Pass Applies the state settings for the specified pass of the technique.
SetBool Sets a BOOL value.

Remarks

The ID3DXEffect interface is obtained by calling D3DXCreateEffect, D3DXCreateEffectFromFile, or D3DXCreateEffectFromResource.
The LPD3DXEFFECT type is defined as a pointer to the ID3DXEffect interface.
typedef struct ID3DXEffect *LPD3DXEFFECT;
