The IDirect3DTexture2::Load method loads a texture that was created with the DDSCAPS_ALLOCONLOAD flag, which indicates that memory for the DirectDraw surface is not allocated until this method loads the surface.
HRESULT Load(
LPDIRECT3DTEXTURE2 lpD3DTexture2
);
If the method succeeds, the return value is D3D_OK.
If the method fails, the return value is an error. For a list of possible return values, see Direct3D Immediate-Mode Return Values.
In the IDirect3DTexture interface, this method uses a pointer to a Direct3DTexture object instead of a Direct3DTexture2 object.
