Class TCustomSwapChainDevice

Activates the specified swap chain and begins rendering to it. The rendering should end with call to EndScene. Note that multiple cascade calls to BeginScene and EndScene are not allowed, so a next call to BeginScene without corresponding EndScene will fail. This function returns True if the rendering started successfully and False otherwise. If returned value is False, there is no need to call EndScene.

Finishes rendering to the swap chain that was started with BeginScene. If the swap chain is located on a window, then this will present the contents.

Changes size of the back-buffer tied to swap chain identified by the given index. The first swap chain has index of zero. If the index is outside of valid range or the swap chain cannot be resized, the returned value is False and the size of swap chain remains unchanged. If this method succeeds, the swap chain will have its size updated and True will be returned. In some providers this may cause device to be reset and some resources to be recreated, so any resources that are not handled internally should be released before calling this; the best way to handle this scenario is to subscribe in TCustomDevice.OnRelease and TCustomDevice.OnRestore events.

Returns True when device is ready to render on the given swap chain and False otherwise.

Updates swap chain implementation-specific resources and resizes any related surfaces.

Clears all textures, shaders and states currently bound to the device. This method works only on some modern providers.

The list of swap chains that will be used for rendering into. In a typical scenario at least one swap chain must be added to this list for device initialization to succeed. In FireMonkey applications the swap chains are not used and will be ignored by the device.
