Video Buffer access

[nagu_paddy]

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.

Youll want to look into locking the surface to get at the bits. Youll probably want to look at the backbuffers surface but depending on how you code things, you may be using a different surface.

I wonder why youre 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
