IDirectDrawVideoPort::Flip

The IDirectDrawVideoPort::Flip method instructs the DirectDrawVideoPort object to write the next frame of video to a new surface.

HRESULT Flip(
  LPDIRECTDRAWSURFACE lpDDSurface,  
  DWORD dwFlags                     
);
 

Parameters

lpDDSurface

Address of the DirectDrawSurface object that will receive the next frame of video.
