This topic shows how to use Microsoft DirectX Graphics Infrastructure (DXGI) to enumerate the available graphics adapters on a computer. |
| How To: Get Adapter Display Modes |
This topic shows how to use DXGI to get the valid display modes associated with an adapter. |
| How To: Create a Device and Immediate Context |
This topics shows how to initialize a device. |
| How To: Get the Device Feature Level |
This topics shows how to get the highest feature level supported by a device. |
| How to: Create a Vertex Buffer |
This topic shows how to initialize a static vertex buffer, that is, a vertex buffer that does not change. |
| How to: Create an Index Buffer |
This topic shows how to initialize an index buffer in preparation for rendering. |
| How to: Create a Constant Buffer |
This topic shows how to initialize a constant buffer in preparation for rendering. |
| How to: Create a Texture |
This topic shows how to create a texture. |
| How to: Initialize a Texture Programmatically |
This topic has several examples showing how to initialize textures that are created with different types of usages. |
| How to: Initialize a Texture From a File |
This topic shows how to use Windows Imaging Component (WIC) to create the texture and the view separately. |
