Losing and Restoring Surfaces

Send Feedback

Starting with Windows CE 5.01, DirectDraw surfaces may be lost by changing the rotation angle (through ChangeDisplaySettingsEx) or by switching DirectDraw into excusive mode. When a DirectDraw surface is lost, many methods will return DDERR_SURFACELOST, and perform no other function. A IDirectDrawSurface::Restore should be called to reallocate surface memory and reattach it to the DirectDrawSurface object.

A single call to IDirectDrawSurface::Restore will restore a DirectDrawSurface's associated implicit surfaces. An attempt to restore an implicitly created surface will result in an error.

Note   After restoring a surface, the surface's description can change (especially lPitch and lXPitch). Applications should be sure to always use the surface description returned by a call to IDirectDrawSurface::Lock instead of keeping a copy that is used across different calls to Lock.
