Chris Double's DirectX control is at:

Or you can get to the GDI through the Win32 library and do whatever people did before DirectX, or access DirectX through the ActiveX/COM library yourself.

Chris has lots of other useful code at his site using WildTangent, OpenGL and Windows graphics from Dylan:

Fun-O's have a good article on why Dylan is strongly suited to game/multimedia development:

Having worked on a game project using C++ I can say that Dylan would have been faster and caused less bugs through syntax and domain modelling problems.
