IDirect3DCubeTexture8::LockRect

Locks a rectangle on a cube texture resource.

HRESULT LockRect(
  D3DCUBEMAP_FACES FaceType,
  UINT Level,
  D3DLOCKED_RECT* pLockedRect,
  CONST RECT* pRect,
  DWORD Flags
);

Parameters

FaceType

[in] Member of the D3DCUBEMAP_FACES enumerated type, identifying a cube map face.

Level

[in] Specifies a level of a mipmapped cube texture.

pLockedRect

[out] Pointer to a D3DLOCKED_RECT structure, describing the region to lock.

pRect

[in] Pointer to a rectangle to lock. Specified by a pointer to a RECT structure. Specifying NULL for this parameter expands the dirty region to cover the entire cube texture.

Flags

[in] A combination of zero or more locking flags, describing the type of lock to perform.

D3DLOCK_DISCARD

The application overwrites, with a write-only operation, every location within the region being locked. This is a valid flag only when using dynamic textures.

D3DLOCK_NO_DIRTY_UPDATE

By default, a lock on a resource adds a dirty region to that resource. This flag prevents any changes to the dirty state of the resource. Applications should use this flag when they have additional information about the actual set of regions changed during the lock operation and can then pass this information to IDirect3DCubeTexture8::AddDirtyRect.

D3DLOCK_NOSYSLOCK

The default behavior of a video memory lock is to reserve a system-wide critical section, guaranteeing that no display mode changes occur for the duration of the lock. This flag causes the system-wide critical section not to be held for the duration of the lock.

The lock operation uses slightly more memory, but can enable the system to perform other duties, such as moving the mouse cursor. This flag is useful for long-duration locks, such as the lock of the back buffer for software rendering that would otherwise adversely affect system responsiveness.

D3DLOCK_READONLY

The application will not write to the buffer. This enables resources stored in non-native formats to save the recompression step when unlocking.

Return Values

If the method succeeds, the return value is D3D_OK.

D3DERR_INVALIDCALL is returned if one or more of the arguments are invalid.

Remarks

For performance reasons, dirty regions are only recorded for level zero of a texture. Dirty regions are automatically recorded when LockRect is called without D3DLOCK_NO_DIRTY_UPDATE or D3DLOCK_READONLY. See IDirect3DDevice8::UpdateTexture for more information.

Cube Textures created with POOL_DEFAULT are not lockable.

The only lockable format for a depth-stencil surface is D3DFMT_D16_LOCKABLE.

A multisample back buffer cannot be locked.

Requirements

  Header: Declared in D3d8.h.
  Import Library: Use D3d8.lib.
