I'm trying already for some time to let DirectX code work together whit Dark GDK,
I'm getting a lot of errors and it never works,
what I wanted was calling a class in a header that does DirectX stuff:

main.cpp:

+ Code Snippet

#include "DarkGDK.h"
#include "DirectX.h"

DX DX;

void DarkGDK (void)
{
   DX.MakeTriangle();
   while (LoopGDK())
   {
      dbSync();
   }
}

DirectX.h:

+ Code Snippet

#include <d3d9.h>
class DX  {
public:
	void MakeTriangle();
};

void DX::MakeTriangle()
{
	d3ddev->DrawPrimitive(D3DPT_TRIANGLELIST, 0, 1);
}

In DirectX.h should be more code, but his is the idea I wanted,
Does someone knows how to make this happen?

DarkGDK uses DirectX so you don't need to include it again.
So you need to get the device GDK is using off GDK, there are undocumented functions to do this kind of thing. Take a look at the header files.

Although thats just the start, I still don't think you will be able to draw a primitive like that. GDK draws everything inside dbSync(), but there are ways to do it, I just don't know how its done, sorry.

If you have any success, let us know how you did it

Don't know if this helps, but you can get the GDK D3D-Device with a call to dbGetDirect3DDevice()...

+ Code Snippet

 /* already in DarkSDKDisplay.h... */
 IDirect3DDevice9*	dbGetDirect3DDevice ( void );
 ...

 IDirect3DDevice9* d3ddev = dbGetDirect3DDevice();
 d3ddev->...

How, if at all, it interfaces with the rest of GDK is beyond me. Maybe you already knew this but I'm trying to help... lol...
