I was working on a project which uses direct composition based on this Article:
Windows with C++ : High-Performance Window Layering Using the Windows Composition Engine
I was able to recreate the example and it is working. Currently i'm trying to apply IDCompositionGaussianBlurEffect to My Visual (variable: visual) but the Compiler Throws an Access Violation Exception. Is there any way to Apply the Blur Effect on to my visual using Direct Composition.
The Exception:
Exception thrown at 0x6E695565 (dcomp.dll) in DirectComNoCom.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x41200000.
The Exception is thrown at this line:
effect->SetStandardDeviation(10.0f);

I tried changing every piece of code and still it Throws Exception. I am new to Directx and IDCompositionDevice3 device in the code is actually created by myself, i don't know weather it is right or wrong since there is not much described in the Documentation Provided by Microsoft.
Here is the Full Project Code : Direct Composition Blur
There are two problems:
1.dcomp implementation seems strange to be the least because it answers this successfully but dcompDevice3 is in fact broken somehow, hence the crash:
ComPtr<IDCompositionDevice3> dcompDevice3;
HR(dcompDevice->QueryInterface(__uuidof(IDCompositionDevice), (LPVOID*)&dcompDevice3))
2.and your code is also bad as it should be this:
HR(DCompositionCreateDevice3( // only this factory can give you an IDCompositionDevice3 implementation
dxgiDevice.Get(),
__uuidof(dcompDevice),
reinterpret_cast<void**>(dcompDevice.GetAddressOf())));
ComPtr<IDCompositionDevice3> dcompDevice3;
HR(dcompDevice->QueryInterface(__uuidof(IDCompositionDevice3), (LPVOID*)&dcompDevice3)); // use IDCompositionDevice3 here
And now it should work, at least, continue.
