nagu_paddy Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 Please let me know how to access video buffer from VB.NET. I am trying to develop a software that simulates different terminals on the local network using mouse and keyboard. Quote
*Experts* Nerseus Posted August 29, 2003 *Experts* Posted August 29, 2003 You'll want to look into locking the surface to get at the bits. You'll probably want to look at the backbuffer's surface but depending on how you code things, you may be using a different surface. I wonder why you're choosing DirectX and not just using a fixed width font to make it look "terminal" like? Working with Text seems MUCH easier than DirectX. Heck, even building a real rocketship "McGuyver style" seems easier than using DirectX at times :) -Ner Quote "I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over.
