Structures

This section contains information about the following structures used with DirectDraw:

Note  The memory for all DirectX structures should be initialized to 0 before the structure is used. In addition, all structures that contain a dwSize member should set the member to the size of the structure, in bytes, before the structure is used. The following example performs these tasks on a common structure, DDCAPS:

DDCAPS ddcaps; // Can't use this yet.
 
ZeroMemory(&ddcaps, sizeof(DDCAPS));
ddcaps.dwSize = sizeof(DDCAPS);
 
// Now the structure can be used.
