Hello,

I have come across these guys in the documentation

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dn903889(v=vs.85).aspx

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dn903890(v=vs.85).aspx

If I try to use any of them on ID3D12GraphicsCommandList, I get an error that the method is not found.

Do they come with some update for VS 2015 or Windows SDK?

Edit:

Just checked D3D12 GitHub samples. They are using global functions PIXBeginEvent() and PIXEndEvent(), taking command list as an argument, from #include <pix.h>.

Feels like misleading documentation indeed.

Yeah, the GitHub samples do it the right way.

I think the Command Queue/List functions called PIXBeginEvent/PIXEndEvent are there in error. I'll see if we can have them removed.

The documentation you linked to is the old pre-release documentation. The final documentation doesn't list those methods. Instead it has BeginEvent and EndEvent, which are called by the helper functions in pix.h.
