You can set the source or destination color key for a surface either when creating it or afterwards.
To set a color key or keys when creating a surface, you assign the appropriate color values to one or both of the ddckCKSrcBltand ddckCKDestBltmembers of the DDSURFACEDESCstructure that is passed to IDirectDraw::CreateSurface. To enable the color key for blitting, you must also include one or both of DDSD_CKSRCBLT or DDSD_CKDESTBLT in the dwFlagsmember.
To set a color key for an existing surface you use the IDirectDrawSurface::SetColorKeymethod.
You specify a key in the lpDDColorKeyparameter and set either DDCKEY_SRCBLT or DDCKEY_DESTBLT in the dwFlagsparameter to indicated whether you are setting a source or destination key. Destination color keying is not supported in the DirectDraw HEL.
If the DDCOLORKEYstructure contains a range of colors, you must also set the DDCKEY_COLORSPACE flag.
If this flag is not set, only the dwColorSpaceLowValuemember of the structure is used.
