How to overlay
Archives Forums/Win32 Discussion/How to overlay
| ||
| something onto a currently playing game. So your playing some game, counterstrike, world of warcraft like 9 million others, and I want to make a small application that will overlay some information on the screen. Any ideas how ? or even better, any examples? |

| I currently could only have an idea of how it works, but on the current machine I have no possibility to test it nor to make a sample code. My idea would be the following: -First detect the process of the program you want to have the overlay on -then get the windowhandle of the app and detect if it is a directx or opengl. - then you have to link the BMax Graphics handle to the application window, after that you should be able to run your overlay. I will try to get a sample (hopefully to work a bit later) |

| Searching for Windows API stuff, microsofts MSDN is the way to go. Yes I know the posting is old but still the search engine pops this stuff up |
