DirectX 11 Win8 SDK. Is there any GUI?

I have been working on my own Little Graphics Engine for a while and i have come to a Point where i need a robust GUI. Does anybody know if this exist to the win 8 DirectX sdk? I have had problems with CEGUI. I have been searching all over the web but I cannot find anything. The Controls I need is buttons, scrollbars, childwindows/panels whatever so nothing too complicated and it doesn't need to look very good either.

Simple question as that :)

Thanks.

If you are writing a Windows Store app, the recommendation is to use XAML for GUI controls. For DirectX interop within XAML, see this article.

Otherwise most DirectX apps create their own GUI systems or use an existing middleware solution like Scaleform, etc.

For a Win32 desktop app, you can make use of the old DXUT GUI elements.
