Detailed Description

Interface that holds per pass information. Each technique will be made up of one or more passes.

A pass will contain pipe state information and also vertex or pixel shader programs

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual ~IGameFXPass ( ) [inline, virtual]

Destructor.

{;}

virtual const MCHAR* GetPassName ( ) [pure virtual]

The name of the pass.

virtual int GetNumberOfFXAnnotations ( ) [pure virtual]

The number of annotations associated with the pass.

virtual bool GetFXAnnotation	(	int	index,
		MSTR *	languageType,
		MSTR *	key,
		MSTR *	value
	)		`[pure virtual]`

Access the key/value pair for the annotation.

virtual int GetNumberofFXPipeStates ( ) [pure virtual]

the number of render pipe states

Acces the specific key/value pair for the state. This would typically be render state information.

virtual bool GetVertexShader	(	MSTR *	entry,
		MSTR *	code
	)		`[pure virtual]`

Access the vertex shader for the current pass.

Parameters:

entry	A buffer to receive the entry name for the function
code	A buffer to receive the actual code fragment

virtual bool GetPixelShader	(	MSTR *	entry,
		MSTR *	code
	)		`[pure virtual]`

Access the pixel shader for the current pass.

Parameters:

entry	A buffer to receive the entry name for the function
code	A buffer to receive the actual code fragment

virtual IGameFX::IGameFXProfile GetTargetProfile ( ) [pure virtual]

Access the profile used for the current pass.
