Description

Version: 1.0

This plugin gives you the Pixel Shader version actually supported by your graphics card. It relies on DirectX 9 or later. If DirectX 9 is not installed, it will return a zero version (0.0).

For example, Microsoft XNA Framework 2.0 requires at least Pixel Shader v1.1 but 2.0 is recommended and required for some Starter Kits.

Syntax

PixelShader::GetPixelShaderVersion

Examples

; Ensure that the Pixel Shader fulfill requirement

    MessageBox MB_ICONEXCLAMATION|MB_OK "$(^Name) requires a graphics card that have at least Pixel Shader Version 2. Try updating your graphics card driver."
