## -remarks



To determine  the outputs that are available from the adapter, use <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/desktop/api/dxgi/nf-dxgi-idxgiadapter-enumoutputs">IDXGIAdapter::EnumOutputs</a>. To determine the specific output that the swap chain will update, use <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/desktop/api/dxgi/nf-dxgi-idxgiswapchain-getcontainingoutput">IDXGISwapChain::GetContainingOutput</a>. You can then call <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/desktop/api/unknwn/nf-unknwn-iunknown-queryinterface(q)">QueryInterface</a> from any  <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/desktop/api/dxgi/nn-dxgi-idxgioutput">IDXGIOutput</a> or <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/desktop/api/dxgi1_2/nn-dxgi1_2-idxgioutput1">IDXGIOutput1</a> object to obtain an <b>IDXGIOutput2</b> object.
