CEGui and EndScene

[hypnodok]

Ive been trying to get CEGUI to render inside my EndScene hook, it doesnt seem to work right tho.
This is my code:

CEGUI::DirectX9Renderer* myRenderer;
bool initialized = false;

HRESULT WINAPI hook_EndScene( IDirect3DDevice9 * pThis )
{
    if(!initialized)
    {
        Debug("Trying to initialize CEGUI");
        myRenderer = new CEGUI::DirectX9Renderer( pThis, 512 );
        new CEGUI::System( myRenderer );
        Debug("CEGUI initialized");
        initialized=true;
    }

    CEGUI::System::getSingleton().renderGUI();
    Debug("Rendered CEGUI");

    return oEndScene(pThis);
}

Not exactly pretty but I dont see why it shouldnt work. The code compiles fine but for some reason the DLL wont inject.
A little hint maybe?

I have identified the problem to an extent.
It seems that the dll fails to load the corresponding .dll files and hence fails to inject.
After moving CEGUIBase_d.dll (I use the debug ones for now) to my wow directory, I can make the game crash using

CEGUI::System::getSingleton().renderGUI();

before initializing the system.
However the dll still fails to do its job if I leave

myRenderer = new CEGUI::DirectX9Renderer( pThis, 512 );

in there, movin DirectX9GUIRenderer_d.dll to my wow directory too did not fix this issue for me.
Can someone tell me where to put the CEGui includes/dlls/libs in order to make it work?

Problem fixed, the solution was statically linking all of CEGuis dependencies, then fixing the device so that the screen doesnt stay blank after rendering the GUI.
For reference, these are the threads that helped me fix it:

www.cegui.org.uk :: View topic - Problems with CEGUI_STATIC, well, running CEGUI at all

Before you go writing all of this stuff in C++, you might want to think about writing an addon and using ConsoleRegister() to register your functions into WoW. You can then call them from your addon you wrote. There's an article on GD on how it works, addresses will be wrong, just check the new WoWX pattern.xml.
