    DirectX hook; Ingame IM Chat

    Hi,

    Since a while I'm looking for a code that works with some kind of a DirectX hook.
    The program should make a new screen above a DirectX game. Like X-Fire
    http://media.xfire.com/xfire/xf/them...ur_image_4.jpg

    I've searched every where and I've only found one thing: @experts-exchange.
    http://www.experts-exchange.com/Prog..._21719352.html
    But what now the problem is, I am not a member of EE.
    So I still have no VB6 code for this purpose..

    If somebody knows how to do this or knows already a code on the internet (OPEN SOURCE) please tell me then!

    Kind regards,

    Why

    P.S. Excuse me for my bad english

    This has been discussed before, (search here) someone got a very buggy version of one working (sort of). But, I think you have to find out the back window (or its called something simliar I think) that the DX app is using. And send a 'message' to display some text. I think if you want to display graphics its a little bit more complicated, but once you figure out how to display text I would say the rest would come naturally.

    Btw, you don't have to be a member of EE to see the answer...just scroll down:

    hmm thanks, I didn't saw.

    But, another problem.. Those examples aren't VB codes.. All C++.
    Isn't there a VB code for that purpose ?
    I've searched VBForums.com but haven't found anything.. Maybe i'm using the wrong keywords.. What should i search for?
