Getting Started with DirectDraw
DirectDraw is a low-level application programming interface (API) for graphics. It controls memory, the hardware blitter, and surface flipping operations. DirectDraw is a software interface that provides direct access to display devices while maintaining compatibility with the Windows CE graphics device interface (GDI).
Use DirectDraw to create and manage memory surfaces. The primary DirectDraw surface is the screen. For complete information about DirectDraw surfaces, see the following topics.
