Enumeration Callback Function

The EnumDeviceCallback function is invoked for each Direct3D device installed on the system. For each device we retrieve its identifying GUID, a name and description, a description of its hardware and software capabilities, and an unused user argument.

The EnumDeviceCallback function uses the following algorithm to choose an appropriate Direct3D device:

1Discard any devices which don't match the current display depth.

2Discard any devices which can't do Gouraud-shaded triangles.

3If a hardware device is found which matches points one and two, use it. However, if we are running in debug mode we will skip hardware.

4Otherwise favor Mono/Ramp mode software renderers over RGB ones; until MMX is widespread, Mono will be faster.

This callback function is invoked by the ChooseDevice enumeration function, which is described in Enumeration Function.

Note that the first parameter passed to this callback function, lpGUID, is NULL for the primary device. All other devices should have a non-NULL pointer. You should consider saving the actual GUID for the device you choose, not the pointer to the GUID, in case the pointer is accidentally corrupted.
