IDirectDrawSurface4::GetCaps

The IDirectDrawSurface4::GetCaps method retrieves the capabilities of the surface. These capabilities are not necessarily related to the capabilities of the display device.

HRESULT GetCaps(
  LPDDSCAPS2 lpDDSCaps  
);

Parameters

lpDDSCaps: Address of a DDSCAPS2 structure that will be filled with the hardware capabilities of the surface.

Return Values

If the method succeeds, the return value is DD_OK.

If the method fails, the return value may be one of the following error values:

DDERR_INVALIDOBJECT

DDERR_INVALIDPARAMS

Remarks

This method differs from its counterpart in the IDirectDrawSurface3 interface in that it accepts a pointer to a DDSCAPS2 structure rather than the legacy DDSCAPS structure.
