Member Function Documentation

bool IsA

(

siClassID

in_ClassID

)

const [virtual]

Returns true if a given class type is compatible with this API class.

Parameters:

in_ClassID

class type.

Returns:

true if the class is compatible, false otherwise.

Reimplemented from SIObject.

siClassID GetClassID

(

)

const [virtual]

Returns the type of the API class.

Returns:

The class type.

Reimplemented from SIObject.

GraphicDriver& operator=

(

const GraphicDriver &

in_obj

)

Creates an object from another object. The newly created object is set to empty if the input object is not compatible.

Parameters:

in_obj

constant class object.

Returns:

The new GraphicDriver object.

GraphicDriver& operator=

(

const CRef &

in_ref

)

Creates an object from a reference object. The newly created object is set to empty if the input reference object is not compatible.

Parameters:

in_ref

constant class object.

Returns:

The new GraphicDriver object.

Reimplemented from SIObject.

siGraphicDriver GetGraphicDriverType

(

)

Returns a siGraphicDriver enum indicating the type of graphic driver.

Returns:

The graphic driver type.

void* GetHardwareInterface

(

)

Returns a void* which represents the interface to the underlying Graphics API. for OpenGL, this simple returns a HGLRC. For DirectX based divers, you get an IUnknown which can be used to retrieved the DirectX device.

Returns:

Pointer to the hardware graphic interface.

CStatus AddDriverResource

(

void *

in_pRes

)

Adds a resource to the driver. The implementation and meaning of this method differs from driver to driver. For DirectX9, the parameter is a pointer to an IUnknown. You should use this function when you create a resource that is not automatically managed by the DirectX driver and that needs to be manually restored when the DirectX device is reset. For example, if you create a HLSL shader (ID3DXEffect) in your plugin, you must pass the IUnknown pointer of this effect using AddDriverResource. The driver will then take care of managing the states when the device is released.

Parameters:

Pointer

to a resource for a given graphic API type.

Returns:

CStatus::OK for success
