   DX10 UI Help
  Hi all just making a simulator in dx10 and would like to know if directx has any inbuilt features for creating a UI. cheers. (ps i just has to be simple couple of buttons and some statistics.thanks.   
  Im almost sure that DirectX doesnt have any built in functions to create a UI (at least I never read about that).Well DirectX has functions to draw text but thats all.If you want to draw buttons just draw a rectangle before presenting the back buffer and apply to that rectangle the image(texture) you want so that rectangle will look like a button. Like, draw a button in photoshop and apply the button image to the rectangle in Pixel shader as a texture.I still havent implemented a UI, but this is how I will do it.   ;  There's no built-in UI functionality. DXUT has some basic controls like a button, checkbox, combo box, etc. However the DXUT classes can be pretty difficult to separate from one another.
