ID3DXContext::GetD3D

The ID3DXContext::GetD3D method retrieves a pointer to an IDirect3D7 interface.

LPDIRECT3D7 GetD3D();

Parameters

None.

Return Values

If the method succeeds, the method returns a pointer to an IDirect3D7 interface.

If the method fails, NULL is returned.

Remarks

Applications use the returned IDirect3D7 interface to call Direct3D functions.

Note that a reference count is maintained for the Direct3D object encapsulated by a context object. So, it is the application's responsibility to release the IDirect3D7 interface when it is no longer needed by the application.
