C-Unit has a good tutorial on creating a GUI with MDX: clicky. The same concepts shoud apply to C++. You might also want to search the DX samples, one of the D3D samples displays a custom GUI (with C++).

Have you checked out the GUI that comes as part of the DXSDK Sample Framework? To see what it's like, check out the CustomUI sample. Granted, it has a lot more controls than just command buttons, but it may suit your needs.

Also, there is Crazy Eddie's GUI, but that may be a bit overkill.

Thanks guys [smile] I'll look into them! ++Rate
