Help In Game chat window

  #1  
Mar 17th, 2006
Hi, I am trying to develop a ingame chat window that will work across games developed in directx and openGL. So i need to place a windows form above the game window. since i need this to work across all versions of directx and opengl I cannot use a hook.

how do i do this?

any ideas! (this also includes using other langs)

btw i tried topmost with a timer to set it above all the rest of the windows but that causes problems with the game window
