Remarks

The IDirect3DDevice9 interface is obtained by calling the IDirect3D9::CreateDevice method.

This interface, like all COM interfaces, inherits the IUnknown interface methods.

The LPDIRECT3DDEVICE9 and PDIRECT3DDEVICE9 types are defined as pointers to the IDirect3DDevice9 interface.

typedef struct IDirect3DDevice9 *LPDIRECT3DDEVICE9, *PDIRECT3DDEVICE9;
