C# DirectX Overlay
-
Hey all! Id like to write a piece of code which would display some text in directx. But Id like it to display it while playing an online game (so that why playing in a corner there would popup a halftransparent text about some statistics, for more details: the online game is called America's Army ;]). But Im now quite sure how to do it, so that the game wont minimize itself, like the communicator: xfire does. Have anyone already tried that ? I would appreciate for any help or example code in C#. With regards, Pawel

no real need for using directx, you can use a simple windowless form and set the transparency color the same of your background, tip: I usually use Magenta. Now you can position your form where ever you want, and it will display the text as required. Just make sure what ever you want to show isn't the same color as the transparency color. Gav
