I am developing a Direct3D application and I am now working on some driver enumeration. I wan''t to be able to check if an enumerated DirecDraw driver has hardware capabilities. How can I do that?

I believe that you can test the capabilities of D3D by using certain flags and testing for an OK flag.. I have not tried D3D so I''m unsure it will work or it might have a capability structure somewhere.... good luck

Actually I found out how to do it myself.
I just had to look for the DDCAPS_NOHARDWARE flag when calling the GetCaps function.
