im a decent programmer in VB6 but still a novice at it when it comes to coding for games. i was wondering if its possible to put the application im creating into the games GUI... and for those who don't follow
(example: create a form and have the form run actively in the game)

is it possible to do this with VB6 or am i required to use VB.NET... i have both but i havent really worked with .net as much as i should to know any advanced codes such as this.

Inject a DLL and open a form? is that what you mean? if so, its not possible with .NET, so don't worry. Razz

Not all games support plugins (to show your form in its GUI) and even if they do support plugins, you will need to make your plugin with different methods from game to game.

so best help will be from your game creator?

There's no real possible way to do this. I mean, you can inject a dll and have hotkeys in there. Or you could inject a dll to mess with DX. Theres a tutorial for that in General Programming+, but its for C++.

I have seen some programs run within the game its self for so it looks at least.... iv seen it done on ToP/PKO, MU, CS, FlyFF, and a few others... you can get a better idea of what im looking to learn if you check out the page to one of the programs that got me interested in this specific script

(wont allow me to post links yet >_< send me a message for the link i guess Confused )

thats what im talking about when i say i want to put my application into the games GUI.

Yes, and it would help prevent flicker when being drawn as well.

You might as well upgrade to C++ if you're learning a new language.
