void IASetInputLayout(
  [in, optional] ID3D11InputLayout *pInputLayout
);

[in, optional] pInputLayout

Type: ID3D11InputLayout*

A pointer to the input-layout object (see ID3D11InputLayout), which describes the input buffers that will be read by the IA stage.

Input-layout objects describe how vertex buffer data is streamed into the IA pipeline stage. To create an input-layout object, call ID3D11Device::CreateInputLayout.

The method will hold a reference to the interfaces passed in. This differs from the device state behavior in Direct3D 10.
