D3DXMeshIndexBuffer8GetData

Copies indices from a vertex buffer attached to a mesh object to an index array.

D3DXMeshIndexBuffer8GetData( _ 
    D3DXMeshobj As Unknown, _ 
    Offset As Long, _ 
    Size As Long, _ 
    Flags As Long, _ 
    Data As Any) As Long

Parameters

D3DXMeshobj

Object that resolves to a D3DXMesh object that contains the vertex buffer to retrieve.

Offset

Offset, in bytes, from the start of the buffer to where data retrieval begins.

Size

Size of the buffer, in bytes.

Flags

Combination of one or more valid locking flags defined by the CONST_D3DLOCKFLAGS enumeration, describing the type of lock to perform.

Data

Memory to be filled with the retrieved data. See Remarks.

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.

Error Codes

Err.Number is not set for this function.

Remarks

The following code fragment demonstrates a typical use for this function.

Dim IndexArray(9) As Long
Dim Mesh As D3DXMesh
Dim hr As Long

'The following code assumes that Mesh has been properly initialized
hr = D3DXMeshIndexBuffer8GetData(Mesh, 0, (Len(IndexArray(0)) * 10), _ 
                                  0, IndexArray(0))
