CONST_DSBLOCKFLAGS

Members of the CONST_DSBLOCKFLAGS enumeration are used in the flags parameter of the DirectSoundBuffer.ReadBuffer and DirectSoundBuffer.WriteBuffer methods to specify what portion of the buffer is to be read or written to.

Enum CONST_DSBLOCKFLAGS
    DSBLOCK_DEFAULT         = 0
    DSBLOCK_ENTIREBUFFER    = 2
    DSBLOCK_FROMWRITECURSOR = 1
End Enum

DSBLOCK_DEFAULT

Read or write from the position specified in the start parameter.

DSBLOCK_FROMWRITECURSOR

Write to the current write position, or read from the current read position, making a call to DirectSoundBuffer.GetCurrentPosition method unnecessary. The start parameter is ignored.

DSBLOCK_ENTIREBUFFER

Reads from or writes to the entire buffer. The size parameter is ignored.
