Hello,

I am currently tying to create swap chain with DXGI format DXGI_FORMAT_R10G10B10A2_UNORM, but my program is crashed on creating DXGI surface for D2D using that format without any description:

swapChain->GetBuffer(0, IID_PPV_ARGS(&dxgiBackbuffer));
	D2D1_RENDER_TARGET_PROPERTIES props = D2D1::RenderTargetProperties(
		D2D1_RENDER_TARGET_TYPE_HARDWARE,
		D2D1::PixelFormat(DXGI_FORMAT_UNKNOWN, D2D1_ALPHA_MODE_PREMULTIPLIED));
	
	d2dfactory->CreateDxgiSurfaceRenderTarget(dxgiBackbuffer, props, &d2dRenderTarget);

Whne I use DXGI_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM - D2D render target creates without any errors.

Could someone answer why mentioned above format is not supported or I just do something wrong and which formats supported by this function?

unbird

Could you please give some example? I not completely understood how to implement what you are saying.

I use almost the same code for D2D, but I am wonder if I can correctly render text using ID2D1HwndRenderTarget?

I create render target for HWND like this:

result = d2dfactory->CreateHwndRenderTarget(D2D1::RenderTargetProperties(),D2D1::HwndRenderTargetProperties(hwnd, size),&d2dHwndRenderTarget);

It works, but image is flickering. Why is this happening? Or HwndRenderTarget will not work with D3D11?

Unfortunately, offscreen texture is not the best way for me. I want to use D2D. It very easy to render any text in any language using it. Disadvantage only in that it not support all pixel formats.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem using only D2D or it unsolvable fow now (even for window 8.1)?

So, As I understand it is not possible to create DXGIrender target with my desired pixel format? Am I right?
