ISwapChainPanelNative2::SetSwapChainHandle method (windows.ui.xaml.media.dxinterop.h)

Sets the DirectX swap chain for SwapChainPanel using a handle to the swap chain.

Syntax

HRESULT SetSwapChainHandle(
  [in] HANDLE swapChainHandle
);

Parameters

[in] swapChainHandle

A shared handle to a swap chain.

Return value

If this method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Remarks

SetSwapChain(HANDLE swapChainHandle) allows a swap chain to be rendered by referencing a shared handle to the swap chain.
This enables scenarios where a swap chain is created in one process and needs to be passed to another process.

XAML supports setting a DXGI swap chain as the content of a SwapChainPanel element. Apps accomplish this by querying for the ISwapChainPanelNative interface from a SwapChainPanel instance and calling SetSwapChain(IDXGISwapChain *swapChain).

This process works for pointers to in process swap chains. However, this doesn’t work for VoIP apps, which use a two-process model to enable continuing calls on a background process when a foreground process is suspended or shut down. This two-process implementation requires the ability to pass a shared handle to a swap chain, rather than a pointer, created on the background process to the foreground process to be rendered in a XAML SwapChainPanel in the foreground app.
