It nae works, at least not in Win2k. I THINK the issue is with the way DirectX is "summoned". :) If they set the cooperative level to DDSCL_FULLSCREEN (implies DDSCL_EXCLUSIVE), then the exclusive mode owner (game) is responsible for all graphic operations. The usual GDI doesn't work (dialog boxes, combo boxes, listviews...). If newer platforms or DX versions have some kind of wrappers or hooks for being able to do it, I don't know.
