IDXGIFactory2 interface (dxgi1_2.h)

The IDXGIFactory2 interface includes methods to create a newer version swap chain with more features than IDXGISwapChain and to monitor stereoscopic 3D capabilities.

Inheritance

The IDXGIFactory2 interface inherits from IDXGIFactory1. IDXGIFactory2 also has these types of members:

Methods

The IDXGIFactory2 interface has these methods.

 
IDXGIFactory2::CreateSwapChainForComposition

Creates a swap chain that you can use to send Direct3D content into the DirectComposition API or a Xaml framework to compose in a window.
IDXGIFactory2::CreateSwapChainForCoreWindow

Creates a swap chain that is associated with the CoreWindow object for the output window for the swap chain.
IDXGIFactory2::CreateSwapChainForHwnd

Creates a swap chain that is associated with an HWND handle to the output window for the swap chain.
IDXGIFactory2::GetSharedResourceAdapterLuid

Identifies the adapter on which a shared resource object was created.
IDXGIFactory2::IsWindowedStereoEnabled

Determines whether to use stereo mode.
IDXGIFactory2::RegisterOcclusionStatusEvent

Registers to receive notification of changes in occlusion status by using event signaling.
IDXGIFactory2::RegisterOcclusionStatusWindow

Registers an application window to receive notification messages of changes of occlusion status.
IDXGIFactory2::RegisterStereoStatusEvent

Registers to receive notification of changes in stereo status by using event signaling.
IDXGIFactory2::RegisterStereoStatusWindow

Registers an application window to receive notification messages of changes of stereo status.
IDXGIFactory2::UnregisterOcclusionStatus

Unregisters a window or an event to stop it from receiving notification when occlusion status changes.
IDXGIFactory2::UnregisterStereoStatus

Unregisters a window or an event to stop it from receiving notification when stereo status changes.

Remarks

To create a Microsoft DirectX Graphics Infrastructure (DXGI) 1.2 factory interface, pass IDXGIFactory2 into either the CreateDXGIFactory or CreateDXGIFactory1 function or call QueryInterface from a factory object that either CreateDXGIFactory or CreateDXGIFactory1 returns.

Because you can create a Direct3D device without creating a swap chain, you might need to retrieve the factory that is used to create the device in order to create a swap chain. You can request the IDXGIDevice, IDXGIDevice1, or IDXGIDevice2 interface from the Direct3D device and then use the IDXGIObject::GetParent method to locate the factory. The following code shows how.

IDXGIDevice2 * pDXGIDevice;
hr = g_pd3dDevice->QueryInterface(__uuidof(IDXGIDevice2), (void **)&pDXGIDevice);
      
IDXGIAdapter * pDXGIAdapter;
hr = pDXGIDevice->GetParent(__uuidof(IDXGIAdapter), (void **)&pDXGIAdapter);

IDXGIFactory2 * pIDXGIFactory;
pDXGIAdapter->GetParent(__uuidof(IDXGIFactory2), (void **)&pIDXGIFactory);
