Creates a cube texture from a file.

HRESULT D3DXCreateCubeTextureFromFile(
  LPDIRECT3DDEVICE8 pDevice,
  LPCTSTR pSrcFile,
  LPDIRECT3DCUBETEXTURE8* ppCubeTexture
);

Parameters

pDevice

[in] Pointer to an IDirect3DDevice8 interface, representing the device to be associated with the cube texture.

pSrcFile

[in] Pointer to a string that specifies the file from which to create the cube texture.

ppCubeTexture

[out] Address of a pointer to an IDirect3DCubeTexture8 interface, representing the created cube texture object.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is D3D_OK.

If the function fails, the return value can be one of the following values.

Remarks

This function supports the following file formats: .bmp, .dds, .dib, .jpg, .png, and .tga.

This function supports both Unicode and ANSI strings.
