Can you show us what you've got so-far(code)?
also are you going to use it with more then one frame(or buffer, w/e you wanna call em), will you use it to render mainly 2D or 3D?
I'm familier with DX9, though I don't think there's much difference in the setup I will try to help my best.
Edit:

this is how i set up my Windows part of the application.
Code: Select all
LRESULT WINAPI WinProc( HWND hWnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam )

switch( msg )

case WM_DESTROY:
//release the Direct3D objects
if (d3ddev != NULL) d3ddev->Release();
if (d3d != NULL) d3d->Release();
//release sound objects (not a DX object!)
if (dsound != NULL) delete dsound;
//release input objects
if (dinput != NULL) dinput->Release();
Kill_Keyboard();
Kill_Mouse();
//Release all the nasty shit
Game_End(hWnd);
//Send a message to kill the program
PostQuitMessage(0);
return 0;
/*
case WM_ACTIVATE:
switch(wParam)
{
case WA_CLICKACTIVE:

Resume(hwnd);
break;
case WA_ACTIVE:

Resume(hwnd);
break;
case WA_INACTIVE:
active=false;
break;
}*/
/* case WM_MOUSEMOVE:
absMouseX = GET_X_LPARAM(lParam);
absMouseY = GET_Y_LPARAM(lParam);
break;*/
}
return DefWindowProc( hWnd, msg, wParam, lParam );
