##### About Delphi DirectDraw

Delphi DirectDraw is a set of objects and functions for Borland Delphi 3.x that encapsulates all the functionally of the DirectDraw™ component. This version od Delphi DirectDraw supports versions 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 5.0 of DirectX.

The Delphi DirectDraw allows Delphi programmers to use DirectDraw in a simplified way by using Delphi native objects and not COM objects. Exceptions are raised for interface methods where an error code is returned.

By convention any result code from an interface method different from DD_OK raises an EDirectDrawError exception, but in many cases, where an error code may be considered normal, an appropriate error code is returned where specified. This is done specially for performance reasons because an exception raising may stole considerable time in time-critical operations.

This product is freeware but includes no source code. To order the source code see the readme.txt file included in this package.
