question on my directx wrapper sll...

ive got a dx wrapper using static link library

this is the sll code

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <d3d9.h>
#include <d3dx9.h>
#include <d3dx9core.h>

void ADrawText(LPDIRECT3DDEVICE9 a,LPD3DXFONT b )
{
        HDC hDC= GetDC( NULL );
    int nHeight= -( MulDiv( 12, GetDeviceCaps(hDC, LOGPIXELSY), 72 ) );
    ReleaseDC( NULL, hDC );

    HFONT hFont = CreateFont(nHeight,
                        0, 0, 0,
                        500,
                        false, false, false,
                        DEFAULT_CHARSET,
                        OUT_DEFAULT_PRECIS,
                        CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS,
                        DEFAULT_QUALITY,
                        DEFAULT_PITCH | FF_DONTCARE,
                        "Times New Roman" );

        D3DXCreateFont( a, hFont, &b );
        DeleteObject( hFont );

        RECT destRect1;
        SetRect( &destRect1, 200, 30, 0, 0 );

        b->DrawText("hi there, -1, &destRect1, DT_SINGLELINE, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(250,250,250) );
}

and this is how i run it in my program

Code:

---

ADrawText(g_pd3dDevice,g_pd3dxFont);

---

My question is, is it possible to just have ADrawText();
instead of having to tell it what the devices etc are?
If so how would i go about it?

You could let the library have references to global variables that are declared as extern in the library header file and then defined in your real app. This is extremly bad style however.

Besides, your ADrawText has a leak: it never deletes the D3DX font, but creates a new one every call (which leaves you to delete the font - bad manner).
