ID3D11ComputeShader Interface

A compute-shader interface manages an executable program (a compute shader) that controls the compute-shader stage.

Syntax

interface ID3D11ComputeShader : public ID3D11DeviceChild  

Remarks

This interface inherits from another interface but does not have additional members.

The compute-shader interface has no methods; use HLSL to implement your shader functionality. All shaders are implemented from a common set of features referred to as the common-shader core.

To create a compute-shader interface, call ID3D11Device::CreateComputeShader. Before using a compute shader you must bind it to the device by calling ID3D11DeviceContext::CSSetShader.

This interface is defined in D3D11.h.

Requirements

Header: Declared in d3d11_x.h (d3d11.h on other Windows platforms).

Library: Use d3d11_x.lib (d3d11.lib on other Windows platforms).
