D3DLIGHTINGCAPS

Obsolete in DirectX 8.0 and later versions; see Comments.

The D3DLIGHTINGCAPS structure describes the lighting capabilities of a device.

typedef struct _D3DLIGHTINGCAPS {
    DWORD  dwSize;
    DWORD  dwCaps;
    DWORD  dwLightingModel; 
    DWORD  dwNumLights;
} D3DLIGHTINGCAPS, *LPD3DLIGHTINGCAPS;

Members

dwSize

Specifies the size, in bytes, of the D3DLIGHTINGCAPS structure.

dwCaps

Specifies flags describing the capabilities of the lighting module. The following flags are defined:

Value	Meaning
D3DLIGHTCAPS_DIRECTIONAL	Directional lights are supported.
D3DLIGHTCAPS_GLSPOT	OpenGL-style spotlights are supported.
D3DLIGHTCAPS_PARALLELPOINT	Parallel-point lights are supported.
D3DLIGHTCAPS_POINT	Point lights are supported.
D3DLIGHTCAPS_SPOT	Spotlights are supported.

dwLightingModel

Specifies flags indicating whether the lighting model is RGB or monochrome. The following flags are defined:

Value	Meaning
D3DLIGHTINGMODEL_MONO	The lighting model is monochromatic.
D3DLIGHTINGMODEL_RGB	The lighting model is RGB.

dwNumLights

Specifies the number of lights that can be handled.

Headers

Defined in d3dcaps.h. Include d3dcaps.h.

Comments

This structure has been replaced by D3DCAPS8 (see the DirectX 8.0 SDK documentation) for DirectX 8.0 and later runtimes, but is required for legacy runtime (DirectX 7.0 and earlier) compatibility. See Reporting DirectX 8.0 Style Direct3D Capabilities for details.

This structure is a member of the D3DDEVICEDESC_V1 structure.
