Hi,
Am looking for a way of accessing the DirectX surface where Dark GDK is drawing the 3d stuff.
I can obtain the window handle, but have not figured out how to obtain the DX Surface and its contents.
I want to copy the contents of the surface canvas to another window canvas (yes, am speaking pascal) at runtime.

I admit I'm using DGDK.NET and don't know much about what you're trying to do, but Display.GetBackbufferPtr or GetDirect3D9 might do the trick... maybe...

My version is win32, and the functions seem to be different. I see here dbGetBackBufferPtr but not the other one. Anyway, thanks and I will post results.

What I need to do is to "capture" the image in the backbuffer so I can paste it over a normal form, so I can use the layered window attributes and make my rendered window transparent in certain areas.
The directX surface does not seem to allow color keyed transparency, unless you use regions, which take forever to calculate.

Thx again...

check the header files for /real/ function listings. theres a few undocumented ones I use frequently like dbGetDirect3DDevice()

Thank you. I tested an alternate, higher level algorithm that seem to work fine.
