Dbpro and Darkgdk create their own window for rendering objects. But lets say I wanted to draw a point light inside another application, would this be possible with Darkgdk?

It is if you can get the pointer to the directx9 device from that application

If I understand correctly, if I were to use the DirectX sdk to do such a thing I would pass the HWND window id as a parameter when creating D3DDevice. But I was hoping to avoid the DX sdk and find an easier way with Dark GDK.

@Brendyboy - do you know how I could go about finding the pointer to the directx device, and what I would do afterwards?

No, you still need to call the commands from the same thread that created the device.
