IDirectDrawSurface7::UpdateOverlay

The IDirectDrawSurface7::UpdateOverlay method repositions or modifies the visual attributes of an overlay surface. These surfaces must have the DDSCAPS_OVERLAY flag set.

HRESULT UpdateOverlay(
  LPRECT lpSrcRect,                      
  LPDIRECTDRAWSURFACE7 lpDDDestSurface,  
  LPRECT lpDestRect,                     
  DWORD dwFlags,                         
  LPDDOVERLAYFX lpDDOverlayFx            
);

Parameters

lpSrcRect
Address of a RECT structure that defines the x, y, width, and height of the region on the source surface being used as the overlay. This parameter can be NULL when hiding an overlay or to indicate that the entire overlay surface is to be used and that the overlay surface conforms to any boundary and size-alignment restrictions imposed by the device driver.
lpDDDestSurface
Address of the IDirectDrawSurface7 interface for the surface that is being overlaid.
lpDestRect
Address of a RECT structure that defines the x, y, width, and height of the region on the destination surface that the overlay should be moved to. This parameter can be NULL when hiding the overlay.
dwFlags
The following flags are defined:
DDOVER_ADDDIRTYRECT
Adds a dirty rectangle to an emulated overlay surface.
DDOVER_ALPHADEST
Obsolete.
DDOVER_ALPHADESTCONSTOVERRIDE
Uses the dwAlphaDestConst member of the DDOVERLAYFX structure as the destination alpha channel for this overlay.
DDOVER_ALPHADESTNEG
Indicates that the destination surface becomes more transparent as the alpha value increases (0 is opaque).
DDOVER_ALPHADESTSURFACEOVERRIDE
Uses the lpDDSAlphaDest member of the DDOVERLAYFX structure as the alpha channel destination for this overlay.
DDOVER_ALPHAEDGEBLEND
Uses the dwAlphaEdgeBlend member of the DDOVERLAYFX structure as the alpha channel for the edges of the image that border the color key colors.
DDOVER_ALPHASRC
Uses either the alpha information in pixel format or the alpha channel surface attached to the source surface as the source alpha channel for this overlay.
DDOVER_ALPHASRCCONSTOVERRIDE
Uses the dwAlphaSrcConst member of the DDOVERLAYFX structure as the source alpha channel for this overlay.
DDOVER_ALPHASRCNEG
Indicates that the source surface becomes more transparent as the alpha value increases (0 is opaque).
DDOVER_ALPHASRCSURFACEOVERRIDE
Uses the lpDDSAlphaSrc member of the DDOVERLAYFX structure as the alpha channel source for this overlay.
DDOVER_ARGBSCALEFACTORS
New for DirectX 7.0. Indicates that the DDOVERLAYFX structure contains valid ARGB scaling factors.
DDOVER_AUTOFLIP
Automatically flips to the next surface in the flipping chain each time that a video port VSYNC occurs.
DDOVER_BOB
Displays each field of the interlaced video stream individually without causing any artifacts.
DDOVER_BOBHARDWARE
Bob operations are performed using hardware, rather than software or emulated. This flag must be used with the DDOVER_BOB flag.
DDOVER_DDFX
Uses the overlay FX flags in the lpDDOverlayFx parameter to define special overlay effects.
DDOVER_DEGRADEARGBSCALING
New for DirectX 7.0. ARGB scaling factors can be degraded to fit driver capabilities.
DDOVER_HIDE
Turns off this overlay.
DDOVER_INTERLEAVED
The surface memory is composed of interleaved fields.
DDOVER_KEYDEST
Uses the color key associated with the destination surface.
DDOVER_KEYDESTOVERRIDE
Uses the dckDestColorkey member of the DDOVERLAYFX structure as the color key for the destination surface.
DDOVER_KEYSRC
Uses the color key associated with the source surface.
DDOVER_KEYSRCOVERRIDE
Uses the dckSrcColorkey member of the DDOVERLAYFX structure as the color key for the source surface.
DDOVER_OVERRIDEBOBWEAVE
Bob and weave decisions should not be overridden by other interfaces.
DDOVER_REFRESHALL
Redraws the entire surface on an emulated overlayed surface.
DDOVER_REFRESHDIRTYRECTS
Redraws all dirty rectangles on an emulated overlayed surface.
DDOVER_SHOW
Turns on this overlay.
lpDDOverlayFx
Address of a DDOVERLAYFX structure that describes the effects to be used. Can be NULL if the DDOVER_DDFX flag is not specified.

Return Values

If the method succeeds, the return value is DD_OK.

If it fails, the method can return one of the following error values:
