Is it possible to overlay some text from a VDS app onto a Direct X window? I want to overlay some information while in a game, such as time, memory, cpu etc.

thanks,
-Garrett

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if you could do it with GadgetX.

I once did it by simple creating a window with the ontop style, but most games with DirectX will let the screen start blinking when another window is over it. Most cheating-prevention programs like PunkBuster might also dislike it when you add things on your screen or if you try to come between the game and the DirectX engine.
