Prototype In
snap/graphics.h
Parameters
mode |
Mode number to get information for |

Place to store the returned mode information (GA_modeInfo) |
outputDevice |
Output device flags to use (GA_OutputFlagsType) |

Description
This function returns extened information about a specific SNAP display mode for a specific output device selection. This is different to the normal GetVideoModeInfo function, which returns the display mode information for the currently active output device (ie: LCD, CRT or TV). The only difference is the addition of the outputDevice parameter, which contains flags from the GA_OutputFlagsType enumeration.
This function is useful if you are running on a different output device (ie: CRT display) but with to find out the capabilities of a another output device (ie: LCD or TV), without needing to first switch to that device and make it active.
Note: The calling code must first ensure that the dwSize member of the GA_modeInfo structure is set to the size of the structure in bytes before calling this function. Only the number of bytes set in the dwSize member will be copied into the callers structure.
