ID3D10Effect::GetVariableBySemantic method (d3d10effect.h)

Get a variable by semantic.

Syntax

ID3D10EffectVariable * GetVariableBySemantic(
  [in] LPCSTR Semantic
);

Parameters

[in] Semantic

Type: LPCSTR

The semantic name.

Return value

Type: ID3D10EffectVariable*

A pointer to the effect variable indicated by the Semantic. See ID3D10EffectVariable Interface.

Remarks

Each effect variable can have a semantic attached, which is a user defined metadata string. Some system-value semantics are reserved words that trigger built in functionality by pipeline stages.

The method returns a pointer to an effect-variable interface if a variable is not found; you can call ID3D10Effect::IsValid to verify whether or not the semantic exists.
