Need C++ DX small environment program/code

I am not quite sure of your knowledge of directx with c++, but in my opinion it is not an easy stuff. Do you want to fully learn directx with c++ or just to test something?

Look at some of the samples in the SDK; many of them are exactly what you want.

Primarily to test something, although, as a secondary goal, I would learn from it. I know some C++ and have tried a couple directx programs, but could not get even a 3D object on the screen. I think it was the book I was using (Beginning DirectX 10 Game Programming). Even when I copied the program right from the CD that came with the book, the program did not work, even though the 2D object-creation exercise in the book just before the 3D object exercise worked fine.

For anyone who has a solid knowledge of C++ w/DirectX, the program I want should not be difficult at all, in fact, someone who has this knowledge probably already has this kind of program sitting around somewhere. Do you have the ability to do it? Really, it's just a simple, small 'room' that a user can navigate through (in 2 dimensions only, x and y) with a couple objects that can be moved by the user. But, of course, I could still be wrong about the simplicity of this, but it seems like this would be a basic learning step for someone programming C++/DX.

I'll look through the SDK. You (or anyone else reading this) wouldn't happen to know the sample number in the SDK with this program by chance, would you? Thanks.

well using directx with c++ is not an easy thing and i can point you out at http://d3dcoder.net/.
there you can find some free source code, starting with the basic things.(in the books menu select book and then source code part stuff)
Of course it will be nice to buy one of frank books, they are really amazing and i learned soo much from them, especially from the shader approach book.
Frank covered almost every aspect that one new learner would need in his game, so i think that with some dedication you will reach your goal.
But, if you need do to some game fast, just take one free engine or XNA and dont bother with directx with c++.

I checked out that website and will probably get one of those books and see if I can do this project on my own. Thanks.

You could give Hieroglyph 3 a shot - it is the framework that we used for our D3D11 book, and provides an "Entity" level manipulation. If you shoot me a PM, I could probably throw together a program to get you started...
