IDirect3DResource8::GetPriority

This method retrieves the priority for this resource.

DWORD GetPriority();

Parameters

None.

Return Values

Returns a DWORD value, indicating the priority of the resource.

Remarks

GetPriority is used for priority control of managed resources. This method returns 0 on nonmanaged resources.

Priorities are used to determine when managed resources are to be removed from memory. A resource assigned a low priority is removed before a resource with a high priority. If two resources have the same priority, the resource that was used more recently is kept in memory; the other resource is removed. Managed resources have a default priority of 0.

This method applies to the following interfaces, which inherit from IDirect3DResource8.

• IDirect3DTexture8
• IDirect3DVertexBuffer8
