Applications use the methods of the DirectDrawIdentifier class to obtain information about the DirectDraw driver. This object can be used, with caution, to recognize specific hardware installations to implement workarounds for poor driver or chipset behavior. This object is created with a call to the IDirectDraw7.GetDeviceIdentifier method.
The methods of the DirectDrawIdentifier can be organized into the following group:
| Driver information | GetDescription |
| GetDeviceId | |
| GetDeviceIdentifier | |
| GetDriver | |
| GetDriverSubVersion | |
| GetDriverVersion | |
| GetRevision | |
| GetSubSysId | |
| GetVendorId | |
| GetWHQLLevel |
