IDirect3DDevice9::CreateAdditionalSwapChain method (d3d9helper.h)
Creates an additional swap chain for rendering multiple views.
Syntax
HRESULT CreateAdditionalSwapChain(
[in, out] D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS *pPresentationParameters,
[out, retval] IDirect3DSwapChain9 **pSwapChain
);
Parameters
[in, out] pPresentationParameters
Type: D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS*
Pointer to a D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS structure, containing the presentation parameters for the new swap chain. This value cannot be NULL.
Calling this method changes the value of members of the D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS structure.
- If BackBufferCount == 0, calling CreateAdditionalSwapChain will increase it to 1.
- If the application is in windowed mode, and if either the BackBufferWidth or the BackBufferHeight == 0, they will be set to the client area width and height of the hwnd.
[out, retval] pSwapChain
Type: IDirect3DSwapChain9**
Address of a pointer to an IDirect3DSwapChain9 interface, representing the additional swap chain.
Return value
Type: HRESULT
If the method succeeds, the return value is D3D_OK. If the method fails, the return value can be one of the following: D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE, D3DERR_DEVICELOST, D3DERR_INVALIDCALL, D3DERR_OUTOFVIDEOMEMORY, E_OUTOFMEMORY.
Remarks
There is always at least one swap chain (the implicit swap chain) for each device because Direct3D 9 has one swap chain as a property of the device.
Note that any given device can support only one full-screen swap chain.
D3DFMT_UNKNOWN can be specified for the windowed mode back buffer format when calling IDirect3D9::CreateDevice, IDirect3DDevice9::Reset and CreateAdditionalSwapChain. This means the application does not have to query the current desktop format before calling CreateDevice for windowed mode. For full-screen mode, the back buffer format must be specified.
