After the first successful call to IDXGISwapChain1::Present1 on a flip-model swap chain, GDI no longer works with the HWND that is associated with that swap chain, even after the destruction of the swap chain. This restriction even extends to methods like ScrollWindowEx. +To display HDR swapchain buffer formats and color spaces, a flip model is required. Otherwise they get composed (and clipped) in SDR (sRGB with a 0-1 range). + + For more info about the flip-model swap chain and optimizing presentation, see Enhancing presentation with the flip model, dirty rectangles, and scrolled areas.
