Direct3D with VC++ Express in windowed mode !!!

Hi guys,

I want to create an editor for my next graphic engine, the game part works
fine with Visual Studio Express Edition but for the editor I can't get
directx to work in my window ?? I remeber in the past that Directx sdk 6
(yes too old) there was an exemple called MFC Fog that uses the graphic
interface of directx in a window and I know it's possible to do such a thing
with MFC but unfortunatly Express Edition does not support MFC.

So I wonder if there's a way to pass throught this problem ?

Thanks in advance and sorry for my poor english ;-)

Kind Regard,

Tewfik

You'll have to be more specific than that for anyone to help you.

MFC isn't included in the express edition, but you can use other GUI
toolkits like wxWidgets <http://www.wxwidgets.org>

Hi and thanks for the reply,

Is wxWidget works with directX ?? In reality i'm lokking for a way to
integrate a directx rectangle in the middle of my window to create levels
and integrate also a node based texturing system but I didn't found software
to do that.

your help is welcome and thanks again.

Kind Regards
