IDirectDrawVideoPort::WaitForSync (Windows CE 5.0)
This method waits for either the video VSYNC or until a given scan line is being drawn.
HRESULT WaitForSync(DWORD dwFlags, DWORD dwLine, DWORD dwTimeout);
Parameters
dwFlags
Flag specifying how the method will wait for the video VSYNC or the specified line number.The following table shows the possible flags.
Flag Description DDVPWAIT_BEGIN Return at the start of the vertical blanking interval. DDVPWAIT_END Return at the end of the vertical blanking interval. DDVPWAIT_LINE Return when the video counter either reaches or passes the line specified by the dwLine parameter. dwLine
The video line determining when the method should return, relative to the field height, before prescaling.This parameter is ignored if the dwFlags parameter is set to DDVPWAIT_BEGIN or DDVPWAIT_END.
dwTimeout
Amount of time, in milliseconds, that the method will wait for the next video vertical blank before timing out.If this parameter is 0, the method waits 3 times the value specified in the dwMicrosecondsPerField member of the DDVIDEOPORTDESC.
