💅 al_set_d3d...e_callback(3) 💅

okay so this page is from the Allegro reference manual, and it lives in the Library Functions Manual — very official, very D3D, very “bestie you need to handle your resources” energy 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

al_set_d3d_device_release_callback — Allegro 5 API ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro_direct3d.h>

void al_set_d3d_device_release_callback(
   void (*callback)(ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *display))

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so real talk: the callback will be called whenever a D3D device is reset — like minimize, toggle fullscreen window, etc. (yes, “etc” is out here doing cardio 😭). In the callback you should release any d3d resources you have created yourself. The callback receives the affected display as a parameter.

Pass NULL to disable the callback. periodt 💅

🌈 SINCE 🌈

5.1.0 — iconic since way back, no cap ✨
