Is it possible to mix DirectX API calls within a game using Dark GDK. An example would help me a lot. Is there a way to get to the graphical device from Dark GDK? I would like to be able to embed in my code something like the following:

...
//use DrawPrimitive for our rendering purposes.
if(FAILED(hr = m_lpD3DDevice->DrawPrimitive(
D3DPT_TRIANGLELIST,
0,
dwNumParticlesToRender))){
return hr;
}
...

Yes, it's possible - I do it myself in a couple of my DBPro plug-ins (DBPro and the GDK use the same codebase).

The function you are looking for is dbGetDirect3DDevice in the DarkSDKDisplay.h header file.
