D3DKMTOpenAdapterFromDeviceName function

Description

The D3DKMTOpenAdapterFromDeviceName function maps a device name to a graphics adapter handle and, if the adapter contains multiple monitor outputs, to one of those outputs.

Parameters

unnamedParam1 [in, out]

A pointer to a D3DKMT_OPENADAPTERFROMDEVICENAME structure that describes the parameters that are required to perform the mapping.

Return value

D3DKMTOpenAdapterFromDeviceName returns one of the following values:

Return code Description
STATUS_SUCCESS The mapping was performed successfully.
STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER Parameters were validated and determined to be incorrect or the Windows Vista display driver model was not used.

This function might also return other NTSTATUS values.

Remarks

A graphics adapter corresponds to a video card. A monitor output corresponds to a head on a video card. A system with a single video card contains only one adapter. However, if the video card supports multiple heads, it supports outputting to multiple monitors.
