Microsoft DirectX 8.1 (C++)

IFullScreenVideo::CountModes

The CountModes method retrieves the number of modes available on the Full Screen Renderer.

Syntax

HRESULT CountModes(
  long *pModes
);

Parameters

pModes

[out] Pointer to the returned mode count.

Return Value

Returns an HRESULT value.

Remarks

The DirectShow Full Screen Renderer supports eight modes (320 × 200 × 8/16 bit, 320 × 240 × 8/16, 640 × 400 × 8/16, and 640 × 480 × 8/16). The lower-resolution modes are always chosen over the higher modes. An application can enable and disable specific modes to more accurately specify which ones are available for use. A slightly less fine-grained mechanism to affect the selected mode is available through the clip loss factor.
