創(chuàng)建窗口

Direct3D是基于Microsoft Windows的圖形開發(fā)接口，它的使用必須建立在Windows窗口的基礎(chǔ)上，這就需要?jiǎng)?chuàng)建一個(gè)窗口，而創(chuàng)建窗口首先需要注冊(cè)一個(gè)窗口類。示例程序中注冊(cè)窗口類并根據(jù)窗口類創(chuàng)建窗口的代碼如下:

	WNDCLASSEX wc;

	wc.cbSize			= sizeof(WNDCLASSEX);
	wc.style			= CS_CLASSDC;
	wc.lpfnWndProc		= WinProc;
	wc.cbClsExtra		= 0;
	wc.cbWndExtra		= 0;
	wc.hInstance		= inst;
	wc.hIcon			= NULL;
	wc.hCursor			= NULL;
	wc.hbrBackground	= NULL;
	wc.lpszMenuName		= NULL;
	wc.lpszClassName	= CLASS_NAME;
	wc.hIconSm			= NULL;

	if(! RegisterClassEx(&wc))
		return -1;

	HWND hwnd = CreateWindow(CLASS_NAME, "Direct3D App", WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, 200, 100, 600, 500,
							 NULL, NULL, wc.hInstance, NULL);

	if(hwnd == NULL)
		return -1;

初始化Direct3D

創(chuàng)建了可供繪制圖形的窗口后，在使用Direct3D渲染圖形前，還需要進(jìn)行與Direct3D相關(guān)的初始化操作，主要包括創(chuàng)建Direct3D對(duì)象并獲取其接口指針，通過Direct3D對(duì)象創(chuàng)建Direct3D設(shè)備對(duì)象。

bool init_d3d(HWND hwnd)
{
	g_d3d = Direct3DCreate9(D3D_SDK_VERSION);

	if(g_d3d == NULL)
		return false;

	D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS d3dpp;
	ZeroMemory(&d3dpp, sizeof(d3dpp));

	d3dpp.Windowed			= TRUE;
	d3dpp.SwapEffect		= D3DSWAPEFFECT_DISCARD;
	d3dpp.BackBufferFormat	= D3DFMT_UNKNOWN;

	if(FAILED(g_d3d->CreateDevice(D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT, D3DDEVTYPE_HAL, hwnd, D3DCREATE_SOFTWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING,
								  &d3dpp, &g_device)))
	{
		return false;
	}

	return true;
}

Direct3D設(shè)備（Direct3D Device）定義了Direct3D的所有繪圖操作，絕大多數(shù)Direct3D操作都是通過Direct3D設(shè)備接口進(jìn)行的。比較而言，Direct3D對(duì)象更像是DirectX顯示信息的說明，而Direct3D設(shè)備對(duì)象則是3D功能的具體實(shí)現(xiàn)。

要?jiǎng)?chuàng)建Direct3D設(shè)備，可調(diào)用IDirect3D9::CreateDevice()函數(shù)。

Creates a device to represent the display adapter.

HRESULT CreateDevice(
  UINT Adapter,
  D3DDEVTYPE DeviceType,
  HWND hFocusWindow,
  DWORD BehaviorFlags,
  D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS * pPresentationParameters,
  IDirect3DDevice9 ** ppReturnedDeviceInterface
);

Parameters

Adapter

[in] Ordinal number that denotes the display adapter. D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT is always the primary display adapter.

DeviceType

[in] Member of the D3DDEVTYPE enumerated type that denotes the desired device type. If the desired device type is not available, the method will fail.

hFocusWindow

[in] The focus window alerts Direct3D when an application switches from foreground mode to background mode. See Remarks.

• For full-screen mode, the window specified must be a top-level window.
• For windowed mode, this parameter may be NULL only if the hDeviceWindow member of pPresentationParameters is set to a valid, non-NULL value.

BehaviorFlags

[in] Combination of one or more options that control device creation. For more information, see D3DCREATE.

pPresentationParameters

Pointer to a D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS structure, describing the presentation parameters for the device to be created. If BehaviorFlags specifies D3DCREATE_ADAPTERGROUP_DEVICE, pPresentationParameters is an array. Regardless of the number of heads that exist, only one depth/stencil surface is automatically created.

[in, out] For Windows 2000 and Windows XP, the full-screen device display refresh rate is set in the following order:

1. User-specified nonzero ForcedRefreshRate registry key, if supported by the device.
2. Application-specified nonzero refresh rate value in the presentation parameter.
3. Refresh rate of the latest desktop mode, if supported by the device.
4. 75 hertz if supported by the device.
5. 60 hertz if supported by the device.
6. Device default.

An unsupported refresh rate will default to the closest supported refresh rate below it. For example, if the application specifies 63 hertz, 60 hertz will be used. There are no supported refresh rates below 57 hertz.

pPresentationParameters is both an input and an output parameter. Calling this method may change several members including:

• If BackBufferCount, BackBufferWidth, and BackBufferHeight are 0 before the method is called, they will be changed when the method returns.
• If BackBufferFormat equals D3DFMT_UNKNOWN before the method is called, it will be changed when the method returns.

 

ppReturnedDeviceInterface

[out, retval] Address of a pointer to the returned IDirect3DDevice9 interface, which represents the created device.

Return Values

If the method succeeds, the return value is D3D_OK. If the method fails, the return value can be one of the following: D3DERR_DEVICELOST, D3DERR_INVALIDCALL, D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE, D3DERR_OUTOFVIDEOMEMORY.

Remarks

This method returns a fully working device interface, set to the required display mode (or windowed), and allocated with the appropriate back buffers. To begin rendering, the application needs only to create and set a depth buffer (assuming EnableAutoDepthStencil is FALSE in D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS).

When you create a Direct3D device, you supply two different window parameters: a focus window (hFocusWindow) and a device window (the hDeviceWindow in D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS). The purpose of each window is:

• The focus window alerts Direct3D when an application switches from foreground mode to background mode (via Alt-Tab, a mouse click, or some other method). A single focus window is shared by each device created by an application.
• The device window determines the location and size of the back buffer on screen. This is used by Direct3D when the back buffer contents are copied to the front buffer during IDirect3DDevice9::Present.

This method should not be run during the handling of WM_CREATE. An application should never pass a window handle to Direct3D while handling WM_CREATE. Any call to create, release, or reset the device must be done using the same thread as the window procedure of the focus window.

Note that D3DCREATE_HARDWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING, D3DCREATE_MIXED_VERTEXPROCESSING, and D3DCREATE_SOFTWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING are mutually exclusive flags, and at least one of these vertex processing flags must be specified when calling this method.

Back buffers created as part of the device are only lockable if D3DPRESENTFLAG_LOCKABLE_BACKBUFFER is specified in the presentation parameters. (Multisampled back buffers and depth surfaces are never lockable.)

The methods IDirect3DDevice9::Reset, IUnknown, and IDirect3DDevice9::TestCooperativeLevel must be called from the same thread that used this method to create a device.

D3DFMT_UNKNOWN can be specified for the windowed mode back buffer format when calling IDirect3D9::CreateDevice, IDirect3DDevice9::Reset, and IDirect3DDevice9::CreateAdditionalSwapChain. This means the application does not have to query the current desktop format before calling IDirect3D9::CreateDevice for windowed mode. For full-screen mode, the back buffer format must be specified.

If you attempt to create a device on a 0x0 sized window, IDirect3D9::CreateDevice will fail.

消息循環(huán)

在Direct3D中，渲染圖形通常是在消息循環(huán)中進(jìn)行的：

		MSG msg;
		ZeroMemory(&msg, sizeof(msg));

		while(msg.message != WM_QUIT)
		{
			if(PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE))
			{
				TranslateMessage(&msg);
				DispatchMessage(&msg);
			}
			else
			{
				render();
			}
		}

這段代碼的主要部分由PeekMessage()、TranslateMessage()和DispatchMessage()構(gòu)成，它們是Windows程序標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的消息循環(huán)處理代碼。當(dāng)應(yīng)用程序消息隊(duì)列中出現(xiàn)一條消息時(shí)，PeekMessage()返回布爾值TRUE，執(zhí)行TranslateMessage()進(jìn)行消息轉(zhuǎn)換，然后由DispatchMessage()把消息傳遞給窗口過程函數(shù)。

特別需要注意的是，在消息循環(huán)中使用的是PeekMessage()函數(shù)，而不是GetMessage()函數(shù)。函數(shù)PeekMessage()和GetMessage()的功能大體相同，作用都是從消息隊(duì)列中取一條消息出來，唯一不同的是，每當(dāng)GetMessage()發(fā)現(xiàn)消息隊(duì)列中沒有消息時(shí)，過門不入，而PeekMessage()發(fā)現(xiàn)消息隊(duì)列中沒有消息時(shí)，會(huì)取回系統(tǒng)控制權(quán)，讓程序在此停留一段時(shí)間，應(yīng)用程序就是在這時(shí)候處理render()函數(shù)。也就是說，渲染函數(shù)render()都是在程序運(yùn)行時(shí)的空閑時(shí)間調(diào)用的。

注意理解PeekMessage()和GetMessage()運(yùn)行機(jī)制的區(qū)別，這對(duì)理解Direct3D程序中如何實(shí)現(xiàn)動(dòng)畫是很關(guān)鍵的。
