[Help Request] DirectX Plugin (1 Viewer)

[l2aFeTa]

Hi all

I want to create a Media Portal plugin that contains a DirectX window inside of it for a school project.
I have written my first Media Portal plugin following the PluginDevelopersGuide and it works perfectly but now I dont know how to implement within the MP plugin's code the DirectX window code, I mean I dont know which are the right places where I must put the code for de DX window in the main MP plugin code.

The goal is a plugin that shows a 3D Cube in a DirectX window (not at full screen) which can be moved pressing the buttons inside the panel or the keyboard.

For the Cube I have been following this tutorial Managed DirectX Tutorial: Rotating Cube
Because its very similar to what I want to do with a few modifications.

I would be grateful for all the help you can give me. Excuse me if my english isn't correct :sorry:

Thx

I guess you need a directX control for that (quick search: Open Source DirectX Control). You can add a control to MP by using 'GUIGraphicsContext.form.Controls.Add(control)'. Not sure if this is the best way though..
