Did you guy heard about CDX and NUKEDX? Both of them are the classes build from the DirectX. Personally I prefer NukeDX, it is simple and easier to use. Currently I am coding a main menu for my first game. The main menu contain of animation graphic, custom font, custom icon and custom cursor. Problem is my cursor will be disappear when i flip between the front and back surface. This problem happen only if i load the custom cursor instead of the normal window cursor. It will be very grateful that if you can reply me and pointing out my mistake.
