Help regarding DirectX

[Abdul Azeez(BLR)]

Hi,

I need to use DirectX in my application for drawing the network
diagram.
May I know the procedure to draw a Graph( Rectangular boxes connected
with straight lines) using DirectX.
Could you please throw some light on DirectX as I have very little
knowledge about it.

My main intension is to draw rectangular boxes which are connected
through lines and containing some text.
Mynext question is how to drag those rectangular boxes,,,Is there any
specific function which can be used for this purpose?Otherwi se do I
need to handle it in the way how we use do in GDI(Calculating the
offset values in the mouse event handlers)?
And also How to make my screen scrollable?

Hope I am not asking too many questions, Please answer my last question
of this mail, i.e
In GDI when ever we try to resize(or minmize) the window the on-paint()
handler will be raised right, Similarly, May I know if there is any
such event handler in DIRECtX.
And also i need to draw ovals in my application

Please help me in this regard.

Thanks,
Azeez.
