D3DX_SURFACEFORMAT

The D3DX_SURFACEFORMAT enumerated type defines the various types of surface formats that can be enumerated. All of the Direct3DX surface classes are represented here:

Remarks

Note that there is no DDPIXELFORMAT structure in Direct3DX; rather the values of the D3DX_SURFACEFORMAT enumeration indicate the pixel format.
