# D3D12_DEPTH_WRITE_MASK

> Identifies the portion of a depth-stencil buffer for writing depth data.

Identifies the portion of a depth-stencil buffer for writing depth data.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
typedef enum D3D12_DEPTH_WRITE_MASK
{
    D3D12_DEPTH_WRITE_MASK_ZERO = 0,
    D3D12_DEPTH_WRITE_MASK_ALL = 1
} D3D12_DEPTH_WRITE_MASK
```

## Constants

| Constant                        | Description                                  |
| ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| D3D12\_DEPTH\_WRITE\_MASK\_ZERO | Turn off writes to the depth-stencil buffer. |
| D3D12\_DEPTH\_WRITE\_MASK\_ALL  | Turn on writes to the depth-stencil buffer.  |
