is_LockDDOverlayMem
Syntax
INT is_LockDDOverlayMem(HIDS hCam, void** ppMem, INT* pPitch)
Description
This function is obsolete and should not be used anymore. We recommend to use the
is_DirectRenderer() function instead (see also Obsolete Functions ).
In DirectDraw BackBuffer mode, is_LockDDOverlayMem() enables access to the overlay memory
and returns the pointer to the starting address of the overlay buffer. This way, you can write data
directly to the overlay buffer without the need to use the Windows GDI functions.
pPitch returns the line offset (in bytes) from the beginning of a line to the beginning of the next line.
Make sure to release the memory again as early as possible using the is_UnlockDDOverlayMem()
function.
While a LockDDOverlayMem...UnlockDDOverlayMem block is executed, the contents of the overlay
buffer will not be refreshed on the screen.
Input Parameters
Pointer to the variable that holds the address pointer
Pointer to the variable that holds the pitch value
Return Values
Function executed successfully
