=== Win32 Platform
[open,refpage='vkCreateWin32SurfaceKHR',desc='Create a slink:VkSurfaceKHR object for an Win32 native window',type='protos']
--
To create a sname:VkSurfaceKHR object for a Win32 window, call:
include::../../api/protos/vkCreateWin32SurfaceKHR.txt[]
* pname:instance is the instance to associate the surface with.
* pname:pCreateInfo is a pointer to an instance of the
sname:VkWin32SurfaceCreateInfoKHR structure containing parameters
affecting the creation of the surface object.
* pname:pAllocator is the allocator used for host memory allocated for the
surface object when there is no more specific allocator available (see
<<memory-allocation,Memory Allocation>>).
* pname:pSurface points to a slink:VkSurfaceKHR handle in which the
created surface object is returned.
include::../../validity/protos/vkCreateWin32SurfaceKHR.txt[]
--
[open,refpage='VkWin32SurfaceCreateInfoKHR',desc='Structure specifying parameters of a newly created Win32 surface object',type='structs']
--
The sname:VkWin32SurfaceCreateInfoKHR structure is defined as:
include::../../api/structs/VkWin32SurfaceCreateInfoKHR.txt[]
* pname:sType is the type of this structure.
* pname:pNext is `NULL` or a pointer to an extension-specific structure.
* pname:flags is reserved for future use.
* pname:hinstance and pname:hwnd are the Win32 code:HINSTANCE and
code:HWND for the window to associate the surface with.
.Valid Usage
****
* [[VUID-VkWin32SurfaceCreateInfoKHR-hinstance-01307]]
pname:hinstance must: be a valid Win32 code:HINSTANCE.
* [[VUID-VkWin32SurfaceCreateInfoKHR-hwnd-01308]]
pname:hwnd must: be a valid Win32 code:HWND.
****
include::../../validity/structs/VkWin32SurfaceCreateInfoKHR.txt[]
--
With Win32, pname:minImageExtent, pname:maxImageExtent, and
pname:currentExtent must: always equal the window size.
The pname:currentExtent of a Win32 surface must: have both pname:width and
pname:height greater than 0, or both of them 0.
[NOTE]
.Note
====
Due to above restrictions, it is only possible to create a new swapchain on
this platform with pname:imageExtent being equal to the current size of the
window.
The window size may: become [eq]#(0, 0)# on this platform (e.g. when the
window is minimized), and so a swapchain cannot: be created until the size
changes.
