C Specification

Applications can modify the presentation mode used by the swapchain on a per-presentation basis. However, all presentation modes the application intends to use with the swapchain must be specified at swapchain creation time. To specify more than one presentation mode when creating a swapchain, include the VkSwapchainPresentModesCreateInfoEXT structure in the pNext chain of the VkSwapchainCreateInfoKHR structure.

The VkSwapchainPresentModesCreateInfoEXT structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_EXT_swapchain_maintenance1
typedef struct VkSwapchainPresentModesCreateInfoEXT {
    VkStructureType            sType;
    const void*                pNext;
    uint32_t                   presentModeCount;
    const VkPresentModeKHR*    pPresentModes;
} VkSwapchainPresentModesCreateInfoEXT;

Members

  • sType is the type of this structure.

  • pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

  • presentModeCount is the number of presentation modes provided.

  • pPresentModes is a list of presentation modes with presentModeCount entries

Description

Valid Usage
Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-VkSwapchainPresentModesCreateInfoEXT-sType-sType
    sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_SWAPCHAIN_PRESENT_MODES_CREATE_INFO_EXT

  • VUID-VkSwapchainPresentModesCreateInfoEXT-pPresentModes-parameter
    pPresentModes must be a valid pointer to an array of presentModeCount valid VkPresentModeKHR values

  • VUID-VkSwapchainPresentModesCreateInfoEXT-presentModeCount-arraylength
    presentModeCount must be greater than 0
