IDXGISwapChain::GetContainingOutput Method

         IDXGIOutput **ppOutput
)

Parameters

ppOutput
Type: IDXGIOutput **

[out] A pointer to the output interface (see IDXGIOutput).

Return value

Remarks

If the method succeeds, the output interface will be filled and its reference count incremented. When you are finished with it, be sure to release the interface to avoid a memory leak.

The output is also owned by the adapter on which the swap chain’s device was created.

You cannot call GetContainingOutput on a windowless swap chain that you created with IDXGIFactory2::CreateSwapChainForComposition.
