What is a Direct3D Object?
Microsoft® Direct3D® is implemented through COM objects and interfaces. Applications written in C++ access these interfaces and objects directly. The Direct3D object is the first object that your application creates and the last object that your application releases. Functions for enumerating and retrieving capabilities of a Direct3D device are accessible through the Direct3D object. This enables applications to select devices without creating them.
