For a while now I've been curious as to what would the best possible way to display dynamic text over a protected game.

So far the easiest and most effective way I've been able to think of would be to use the directX api and overlay the back-buffer with something like, the included, DirectDraw->DirectDraw Essentials->Surfaces->Overlay Surfaces function. But this would include writing something to define an entry point for a Dll, which I don't know how to accomplish.

I'm fairly new to directX so I wasn't quite sure, and most of the overlay tutorials relating directly to this topic are several years old making them useless with anything newer than directX 7->8.

Any Input or alternate ideas on how I could create a sort of in game UI would be greatly appreciated. With or without the use of directX.

Thanks,

Never used DirectX, but I've used openGL.... if that counts...

It counts if you know of anyway to overlay text on the backbuffer.
