Equivalent to DDSurfaces in DirectX 8?

helix · 2003-05-09T23:42:42

I''m sure this has been asked many times but my search didn''t find anything so I apologize in advance. I''m still a DX noob as I started learning it with DX8. I''ve never fully understood what surfaces are as I''ve never had to use one before. I''m working off a sample that uses procedural textures which uses LPDIRECTDRAWSURFACE7. I am trying to keep this DX8 and newer and without these surfaces, I have no idea how to finish coding my special effect. I know that they did away with DirectDraw for DX8 so what''s the equivalent to a DirectDrawSurface in 8? My guess is ID3DXRenderToSurface. If so, is it problematic to port DD7 code to this (what gotchas should I look out for?) or will it be fairly straightforward? Thanks

I''m just guessing, LockRect should return a pointer, or you pass it a double pointer which it makes point to the right place.

You then use this pointer to modify the data on the surface.
