ID3D11SamplerState::GetDescX Method

Gets the description for sampler state that you used to create the sampler-state object.

Syntax

public:
void GetDescX(
         D3D11X_SAMPLER_DESC *pDesc
)

Parameters

pDesc
Type: D3D11X_SAMPLER_DESC *

[out] Description of the sampler state, as a pointer to a D3D11X_SAMPLER_DESC structure.

Return value

None.

Remarks

This method can be used simply to retrieve the D3D11X_SAMPLER_DESC structure from the created class. Aternatively, the easiest way to determine how to fill in all of the many confusing fields of D3D11X_SAMPLER_DESC is to use CreateSamplerState to create the closest Direct3D equivalent, call GetDescX to get back the corresponding D3D11X_SAMPLER_DESC structure, override the appropriate fields, and then call ID3D11DeviceX::CreateSamplerStateX.

Note that GetDesc does not do the reverse. There is not always a mapping from D3D11X_SAMPLER_DESC back to D3D11_SAMPLER_DESC. If a sampler is created with D3D11X_SAMPLER_DESC, then GetDesc will always return a zeroed D3D11_SAMPLER_DESC.
