IDirectDrawSurface::UpdateOverlay (Compact 2013)
3/26/2014
This method repositions or modifies the visual attributes of an overlay surface. These surfaces must have the DDSCAPS_OVERLAY flag set.
Syntax
HRESULT UpdateOverlay(
LPRECT lpSrcRect,
LPDIRECTDRAWSURFACE lpDDDestSurface,
LPRECT lpDestRect,
DWORD dwFlags,
LPDDOVERLAYFX lpDDOverlayFx
);
Parameters
lpSrcRect
Address of a RECT structure that defines the x, y, width, and height of the region on the source surface being used as the overlay.This parameter can be NULL when hiding an overlay, or to indicate that the entire overlay surface is to be used and that the overlay surface conforms to any boundary and size alignment restrictions imposed by the device driver.
- lpDDDestSurface
Address of the IDirectDrawSurface interface for the surface that is being overlaid.
- lpDestRect
Address of a RECT structure that defines the x, y, width, and height of the region on the destination surface that the overlay should be moved to. This parameter can be NULL when hiding the overlay.
dwFlags
The following table shows the possible flags.Flag
Description
DDOVER_ALPHACONSTOVERRIDE
Indicates that the overlay should be alpha-blended with the destination using the dwAlphaConst member of the DDOVERLAYFX structure.
DDOVER_ALPHADEST
Uses either the alpha information in pixel format or the alpha channel surface attached to the destination surface as the alpha channel for this overlay.
DDOVER_ALPHADESTNEG
Indicates that the destination surface becomes more transparent as the alpha value increases (zero equals opaque).
DDOVER_ALPHASRC
Uses either the alpha information in pixel format or the alpha channel surface attached to the source surface as the source alpha channel for this overlay.
DDOVER_ALPHASRCNEG
Indicates that the source surface becomes more transparent as the alpha value increases (zero is opaque).
DDOVER_HIDE
Turns off this overlay.
DDOVER_KEYDEST
Uses the color key associated with the destination surface.
DDOVER_KEYDESTOVERRIDE
Uses the dckDestColorkey member of the DDOVERLAYFX structure as the color key for the destination surface.
DDOVER_KEYSRC
Uses the color key associated with the source surface.
DDOVER_KEYSRCOVERRIDE
Uses the dckSrcColorkey member of the DDOVERLAYFX structure as the color key for the source surface.
DDOVER_MIRRORLEFTRIGHT
Renders the overlay as mirrored so that the left side of the surface is drawn on the right and the right side is drawn on the left.
DDOVER_MIRRORUPDOWN
Renders the overlay as mirrored so that the top of the surface is drawn at the bottom and the bottom is drawn at the top.
DDOVER_SHOW
Turns on this overlay.
DDOVER_WAITNOTBUSY
Waits for a previously initiated drawing operation to complete instead of returning immediately with the DDERR_WASSTILLDRAWING return value.
If a previous drawing operation is in progress at the time of the call, this flag defers returning from the call until the overlay is updated or an error occurs.
DDOVER_WAITVSYNC
Waits for a V-Sync before performing the overlay update.
- lpDDOverlayFx
Address of a DDOVERLAYFX structure that describes the effects to be used. This parameter can be NULL if the DDOVER_DDFX flag is not specified.
Return Value
If the method succeeds, the return value is DD_OK.
If the method fails, the return value may be one of the following error values:
DDERR_DEVICEDOESNTOWNSURFACE |
DDERR_GENERIC |
DDERR_HEIGHTALIGN |
DDERR_INVALIDOBJECT |
DDERR_INVALIDPARAMS |
DDERR_INVALIDRECT |
DDERR_NOSTRETCHHW |
DDERR_NOTAOVERLAYSURFACE |
DDERR_OUTOFCAPS |
DDERR_SURFACELOST |
DDERR_UNSUPPORTED |
