ID3DXEffect interface
Used to set and query effects, and to choose techniques. An effect object can contain multiple techniques to render the same effect.
Members
The ID3DXEffect interface inherits from ID3DXBaseEffect. ID3DXEffect also has these types of members:
Methods
The ID3DXEffect interface has these methods.
Method | Description |
---|---|
ApplyParameterBlock | Apply the values in a state block to the current effect system state. |
Begin | Starts an active technique. |
BeginParameterBlock | Start capturing state changes in a parameter block. |
BeginPass | Begins a pass, within the active technique. |
CloneEffect | Creates a copy of an effect. |
CommitChanges | Propagate state changes that occur inside of an active pass to the device before rendering. |
DeleteParameterBlock | Delete a parameter block. |
End | Ends an active technique. |
EndParameterBlock | Stop capturing effect parameter state changes. |
EndPass | End an active pass. |
FindNextValidTechnique | Searches for the next valid technique, starting at the technique after the specified technique. |
GetCurrentTechnique | Gets the current technique. |
GetDevice | Retrieves the device associated with the effect. |
GetPool | Gets a pointer to the pool of shared parameters. |
GetStateManager | Get the effect state manager. |
IsParameterUsed | Determines if a parameter is used by the technique. |
OnLostDevice | Use this method to release all references to video memory resources and delete all stateblocks. This method should be called whenever a device is lost, or before resetting a device. |
OnResetDevice | Use this method to re-acquire resources and save initial state. |
SetRawValue | Set a contiguous range of shader constants with a memory copy. |
SetStateManager | Set the effect state manager. |
SetTechnique | Sets the active technique. |
ValidateTechnique | Validate a technique. |
Remarks
The ID3DXEffect interface is obtained by calling D3DXCreateEffect, D3DXCreateEffectFromFile, or D3DXCreateEffectFromResource.
The LPD3DXEFFECT type is defined as a pointer to this interface.
typedef interface ID3DXEffect ID3DXEffect;
typedef interface ID3DXEffect *LPD3DXEFFECT;
