Microsoft DirectX 9.0 SDK Update (October 2004)

Multiple Views in Windowed Mode

Language:

Note: This documentation is preliminary and is subject to change.

In addition to the swap chain that is owned and manipulated through the Device object, an application can use the SwapChain.SwapChain method to create additional swap chains for presenting multiple views from the same device.

Typically, the application creates one swap chain per view, and it associates each swap chain with a particular view. The application renders images in the back buffers of each swap chain, and then uses the SwapChain.Present method to present them individually. Note that only one swap chain at a time can be full-screen on each adapter.
