hi there, im not certain this is the correct place to post this thread, but hopefully it is ops: lol

anyways, i have recently started working with directx and delphi 7, i have created my device and window etc, now im having trouble starting to actually render lets say a dialog, ie a custom dialog, a square shape with a caption lol, i have no idea where to start or how todo it, i have searched for tutorials but i can't find any that are for beginning with such things....this including rendering custom buttons etc...

if anyone can point me in the right direction or maybe a link to a few basic samples of direct gui implementation would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance
