The IDirectDraw3 interface is available to applications that have created a DirectDraw object through the IDirectDrawFactory::CreateDirectDraw method. This method retrieves the address of a pointer to an IDirectDraw interface, which your application can use to query for the IDirectDraw3 interface.
In addition to the methods inherited from IUnknown, the IDirectDraw3 interface exposes the following methods.
| Method | Description |
| CreateSurface | Creates a DirectDrawSurface object from a DirectDraw object. |
| GetSurfaceFromDC | Retrieves a pointer to an IDirectDrawSurface interface from a handle to a device context. |
