Delphi XE2: firemonkey and IDirect3DDevice9

Question

How can I access to global IDirect3DDevice9 object in firemonkey 3D form directly ? is it possible ?

Answer 1

Yes, you can have access to DirectX interfaces using these properties:

TCustomDX9Context.SharedDevice: IDirect3DDevice9; | TCustomDX9Context.Direct3D9Obj: IDirect3D9 ;

To access the current context of your application use: ' Form.Context :TContext3D '. TCustomDX9Context is a descendant of TContext3D, you have to test first which context device your application is currently using. It could be one of these classes:

1. TCustomDX9Context //Windows
2. TCustomDX10Context //Windows
3. TCustomContextOpenGL //Mac

Good luck!
