This method is used to create a Direct3D Mobile device object and obtain a pointer to an IDirect3DMobileDeviceinterface to it.

Syntax 

HRESULT CreateDevice(
  UINT 
Adapter,
  D3DMDEVTYPE 
DeviceType,
  HWND 
hFocusWindow,
  ULONG 
BehaviorFlags,
  D3DMPRESENT_PARAMETERS* 
pPresentationParameters,
  IDirect3DMobileDevice** 
ppReturnedDeviceInterface
);

Parameters

Adapter

[in] A value indicting which device to provide information for. For possible values, see D3DMADAPTER Values.

DeviceType

[in] A D3DMDEVTYPEenumeration value that specifies the type of device.

hFocusWindow

[in] An HWND value that is a handle to the window that will be the focus for Direct3D Mobile operations. This window remains the focus until the device object is destroyed. This can only be a window without a parent window.

BehaviorFlags

[in] A ULONG value to control the multithreading behavior of the device. To enable multithreading support, set this value to D3DMCREATE_MULTITHREADED.

pPresentationParameters

[in] A pointer to a D3DMPRESENT_PARAMETERSstructure describing the properties of the swap that is implicitly created when the device is created.

ppReturnedDeviceInterface

[out] A pointer to the IDirect3DMobileDevicepointer for the device.

Return Value

If the device was created successfully, this method returns D3DM_OK. If the device was not created successfully, it returns one of the following error values:

  • D3DMERR_INVALIDCALL

  • D3DMERR_INVALIDDEVICE

  • D3DMERR_NOTAVAILABLE

  • E_OUTOFMEMORY

For more information, see D3DMERR Values.

Requirements

Header d3dm.h
Library D3dm.lib, D3dmguid.lib
Windows Embedded CE Windows CE 5.0 and later
Windows Mobile Windows Mobile Version 5.0 and later
