Can I use DirectX with C?
Yes, it is possible. I even think there is a document on it somewhere on this site. However, those who have done it and lived to tell describe it as a rather painful experience.
Besides - you don''t really need to learn much C++ in order to utilize DirectX from it. Most of the basic DirectX tutorials and examples look like some kind of C''ified C++ anyway.

You can use C with DirectX, but each time you call a directX function, you must refer to the ''vtable, something like this:
pDevice->vTable->SomeCommand(), and you can''t use D3DX, as it''s object oriented.

You can use D3DX just fine in C. They''re structs and interfaces, just like D3D.

pDevice->vTable->SomeCommand()
More precisely:
pDevice->lpVtbl->SomeCommand(pDevice, other args... )
For more of this, take a look at the C macros in the various DX headers.
