IDirect3DTexture2::GetHandle

The IDirect3DTexture2::GetHandle method obtains the texture handle to be used when rendering with the IDirect3DDevice2 or IDirect3DDevice interfaces.

HRESULT GetHandle(
  LPDIRECT3DDEVICE2 lpDirect3DDevice2,  
  LPD3DTEXTUREHANDLE lpHandle           
);

Parameters

lpDirect3DDevice2: Address of the Direct3DDevice2 object into which the texture is to be loaded.
lpHandle: Address that will contain the texture handle corresponding to the Direct3DTexture2 object.

Return Values

If the method succeeds, the return value is D3D_OK.

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

DDERR_INVALIDPARAMS

Remarks

In the IDirect3DTexture interface, this method uses a pointer to a Direct3DDevice object instead of a Direct3DDevice2 object.

Texture handles are used only device interfaces earlier than IDirect3DDevice3. The IDirect3DDevice3 interface references textures using texture interface pointers, set through the IDirect3DDevice3::SetTexture method.

You cannot use this method to retrieve the handle of a texture that is managed by Direct3D. For more information, see Automatic Texture Management .
