I think that you can say: RECT textrect; HDC hdc; PAINTSTRUCT paintstruct; HWND hwnd; hdc = BeginPaint(hwnd&paintstruct); SetTextColor(hdcRGB(000)); SetBkMode(hdcTRANSPARENT); textrect.left = 0; textrect.top = 0; textrect.right = 200; textrect.bottom = 30; DrawText(hdcDraw Text9&textrect13); EndPaint(hwnd&paintstruct); as what you are used to do in GDI but in a directx surface or a backbuffer

The easiest solution that comes to mind would be to use GDI+ to draw the text then convert the resulting bitmap into a surface (DirectDraw) or texture(Direct3d).
