You retrieve the material properties that the rendering device is currently using by calling the IDirect3DMobileDevice::GetMaterialmethod for the device. Unlike the IDirect3DMobileDevice::SetMaterialmethod, GetMaterialdoes not require preparation. The GetMaterialmethod accepts the address of a D3DMMATERIALstructure and fills the provided structure with information describing the current material properties before returning.

	Copy Code
// For this example, the pd3dmDev variable is assumed to // be a valid pointer to an IDirect3DMobileDevice interface. HRESULT hr; D3DMMATERIAL mat; hr = pd3dmDev->GetMaterial(&mat); if(FAILED(hr)) { // Code to handle the error goes here. }

Copy Code

// For this example, the pd3dmDev variable is assumed to 
// be a valid pointer to an IDirect3DMobileDevice interface.
HRESULT hr;
D3DMMATERIAL mat;

hr = pd3dmDev->GetMaterial(&mat);
if(FAILED(hr))
{
	// Code to handle the error goes here.
}
