D3DXCreateFontIndirect function

Creates a font object indirectly for both a device and a font.

Syntax

HRESULT D3DXCreateFontIndirect(
  _In_        LPDIRECT3DDEVICE9 pDevice,
  _In_  const D3DXFONT_DESC     *pDesc,
  _Out_       LPD3DXFONT        *ppFont
);

Parameters

pDevice [in]

Type: LPDIRECT3DDEVICE9

Pointer to an IDirect3DDevice9 interface, the device to be associated with the font object.

pDesc [in]

Type: const D3DXFONT_DESC*

Pointer to a D3DXFONT_DESC structure, describing the attributes of the font object to create. If the compiler settings require Unicode, the data type D3DXFONT_DESC resolves to D3DXFONT_DESCW; otherwise, the data type resolves to D3DXFONT_DESCA. See Remarks.

ppFont [out]

Type: LPD3DXFONT*

Returns a pointer to an ID3DXFont interface, representing the created font object.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

If the function succeeds, the return value is D3D_OK. If the function fails, the return value can be one of the following: D3DERR_INVALIDCALL, E_OUTOFMEMORY.

Remarks

The compiler setting also determines the function version. If Unicode is defined, the function call resolves to D3DXCreateFontIndirectW. Otherwise, the function call resolves to D3DXCreateFontIndirectA because ANSI strings are being used.
