Loads and initializes the DirectDraw library in the specified area.
HRESULT LoadDirectDraw( LPSTR szDevice );
Parameters
- szDevice
- This parameter is optional; if omitted, this method loads
DirectDraw to the base drawing area.
Return Values
Returns S_OK if DirectDraw loaded correctly or E_NOINTERFACE otherwise.
Remarks
DirectDraw is not always available, so applications can't statically link to the library. Therefore, this member function loads the library, gets the function entry point addresses, and calls them to create the driver objects. Call this member function before calling CLoadDirectDraw::GetDirectDrawto retrieve the IDirectDrawinterface.
