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.

Thanks guys

Woah so youre saying that you want to display some text over a DirectX app tahts not yours?

Hmm. Here:
Make your form 0% opaque. (Theres an Opacity property)
SEt formborderstyle to borderless (or is it None)
Use e.graphisc.drawString("string", other arguments).
See if that works.

Correct, its not my app Either way its for my own personal administrative purposes (so I can kick cheaters out faster ). Im glad I dont have to use DirectX to draw over it, phew.
