    DirectX UI

    I can't find any reference to it. I downloaded the new documentation and update for 2005 DX SDK, and I have a sample that shows how to use it. But its very complex and I only understand portions of it.
    Where would I find better documentation for this new feature ? And can I use it with a 2d game, even if it uses D3D?

    I'm sure you can use it any way you want, 2D included. What you have to realise is that GUI's are complex by nature.

    Its extremely simple to use, what I don't understand is all the functions, and how to initiate it. :P And what it takes in Direct 3d to render it. I can't find any good reference...

    Right. So Bubba, I guess there is no real documentation. I should just try my best to use the functions according to whats in the gui CPP file...
