Hi!

How i can connect DirectWrite and DirectX 11, I want to render text to directx surface and use this texture as bitmap font ? I can't find any tutorial about this. I must draw text in WM_PAINT message but is this only one way to do this ?

The directX tool kit (DirectXTK ) has easy to use text functionality that works with directx 11. I'm not sure it will be your solution but it works both in a windows directX 11 application and the new windows RT apps

Maybe you can investigate this framework:

I personally use it, and it's great!

Yes, i know something about this, but i want to write my library to doing this but i dont know how i can do it. I look at source of this library and i cant understand how it's working

That library uses another piece of DWrite, a BitmapRenderTarget, to render each glyph to a memory buffer and then packs it into a Direct3D texture atlas using a bin packing algorithm. Then you have a texture atlas with various rendered glyphs, and you have positioning info, so you can just draw quads at those spots with the correct texture coordinates and it all works.

And i want to do that on this method, but i still have a few question, the first is: I can draw text with DirectWrite in other place than winapi message WM_PAINT ? I can do this in render function ? And how i can copy BitmapRenderTarget to Direct3D texture ?

any answer ?

I don't have any answer becouse this is very simple or it's impossible to do it ?
