IDirect3DTexture Interface Method Groups

Applications use the methods of the IDirect3DTexture interface to retrieve and set the properties of textures. The methods can be organized into the following groups:

Handles GetHandle

Initialization Initialize

IUnknown AddRef

QueryInterface

Release

Loading Load

Unload

Palette information PaletteChanged

All COM interfaces inherit the IUnknown interface methods, which are listed in the "IUnknown" group above. These three methods allow additional interfaces to be added to the Direct3DTexture object without affecting the functionality of the original interface.

The Direct3DTexture object is obtained through the appropriate call to the IDirect3D::QueryInterface method from a DirectDrawSurface object that was created as a texture map.
