Overlay Question.

Hay.

Ok, lets say I have a small application that renders a small rect like 100^100 and prints HELLO in it.

With Max as it is now, is there any examples or code or does anyone know of a way to have that capture the window of an Active game using DX and then draw my little box over it.

What I am trying to do is create an overlay that lists stuff while I am in game.

thanks for any ideas.

All i know is that if fraps can do it then it is possible. Wouldnt you have to get that windows device context from windows and then do something with that...?
I dont have a clue.

Yeah i know it can be done just wondering how its done and if its possible with either Max or B3D.

No one else ever wanted to do this ?

You'd better ask a win32 guru as it will be surelly something that deals with win api.
