Graphic display overlay

[coldfusion244]

Hi guys, quick question.

 

I play a game made in DirectX. I have created a program that informs me of all the players and their GUIDS that are currently in my server. My question is, how would I put text that is translucent over the game but still be playing in the game. Just have it in the upper lefthand corner displaying the text while in game. :confused:

 

Thanks guys

Woah so you're saying that you want to display some text over a DirectX app taht's not yours?

 

Hmm. Here:

Make your form 0% opaque. (There's an Opacity property)

SEt formborderstyle to borderless (or is it None)

Use e.graphisc.drawString("string", other arguments).

See if that works.

Correct, it's not my app ;) Either way it's for my own personal administrative purposes (so I can kick cheaters out faster :D ). I'm glad I don't have to use DirectX to draw over it, phew.
