The Direct3DDevice7 class provides methods enabling applications to perform DrawPrimitive-based rendering. You create a device by calling the Direct3D7.CreateDevice method.
For a conceptual overview, see Direct3D Devices and the DrawPrimitive Methods.
The methods of the Direct3DDevice7 class can be organized into the following groups:
| Information | GetCaps |

| GetDeviceGuid | |
| Device States | ApplyStateBlock |
| BeginStateBlock | |
| CaptureStateBlock | |
| CreateStateBlock | |
| DeleteStateBlock | |
| EndStateBlock | |
| GetClipStatus | |
| GetRenderState | |
| GetRenderStateSingle | |
| GetRenderTarget | |
| GetTransform | |
| SetClipStatus | |
| SetRenderState | |
