Ok my problem is that the screen keeps updating, and it lags to use a while statement.... is there anyway to keep the line ON top?

im using..

HDC hdc = CreateDC("DISPLAY", NULL, NULL, NULL);

I know it gets the display but i have nothing better to use...

See the problem is that the game draws right over it, then you draw over the game, the game draws back over it, etc, etc..

It creates a flickering effect which looks bad!

The only way to prevent the flicker is to hook the games drawing loop, as in a directx hook. But then if your hooking directx you might as well use directx to draw what you want to draw!

In this way your forcing the game's drawing loop to draw your drawing, which makes it look like its part of the game and their is absolutely no flicker! Draw in EndScene right before calling the real EndScene. Because whatever is drawn last will be on top of everything else, which is what you want.

If you want to draw over it with GDI, find a good place in the render loop to jump to your drawing routine, and do it there. You shouldn't get flickering.

The render loop is the loop that draw's all the games graphics... Where it draw's all its frames, sprites, etc.

And no one will post an example since you asked for 2 specific games.
Learn yourself.

alternitivly you could Window the game into another window and not allow it to draw to the whole window..

i can give u the keys.. you must open the door.. Smile

regards BanMe

p.s. the keys are SetWindowParent() SetWindowLong() .. i wrote a utility in autoit back when Survival Project was around called Banimizer that did just this.. search the autoit forums for MSCPorts.. Wink

Hooking Direct3D Creates the best performance. The others create laggy crap. I made one using win gdi32 and it flickers... So hook D3D.

if you are on a MP system like i am you can assign threads to CPU's thus avoiding flickering..
