# VkSurfaceFullScreenExclusiveWin32InfoEXT(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkSurfaceFullScreenExclusiveWin32InfoEXT - Structure specifying additional creation parameters specific to Win32 fullscreen exclusive mode

## C Specification

The `VkSurfaceFullScreenExclusiveWin32InfoEXT` structure is defined as:

    typedef struct VkSurfaceFullScreenExclusiveWin32InfoEXT {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        const void*        pNext;
        HMONITOR           hmonitor;
    } VkSurfaceFullScreenExclusiveWin32InfoEXT;

## Members

- `sType` is the type of this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to an extension-specific structure.

- `hmonitor` is the Win32 `HMONITOR` handle identifying the display to create the surface with.

## Description

| Note If `hmonitor` is invalidated (e.g. the monitor is unplugged) during the lifetime of a swapchain created with this structure, operations on that swapchain will return `VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DATE_KHR`.

| Note It’s the responsibility of the application to change the display settings of the targeted Win32 display using the appropriate platform APIs. Such changes may alter the surface capabilities reported for the created surface.

Valid Usage

- `hmonitor` must be a valid `HMONITOR`

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_SURFACE_FULL_SCREEN_EXCLUSIVE_WIN32_INFO_EXT`
