Using DXUT

DXUT is a part of DirectX SDK examples. With may help wrapper functions and a simple DirectX based dialog/control framework, it is a good starting point of a DirectX project.
DXUT programming guide can be found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee417532(v=VS.85).aspx

Towards my goal to a floating D3D window, I modified the CustomUI example and the DXUT framework, now the CustomUI is floating on top of desktop. What remains is to move the GUI.
