Write text to external app's window

[checkerpro]

Hi,

In my program I need to write a string to a specific location on a window from an external application (party poker). Is this possible, and if so, what API are required?

Thanks!

I assume you mean write text in a textbox in another application, right?

No, I was hoping to write text on top of what i think is just an image.

See image below...

Would it be easiest to create a transparent borderless window and keep that on top?

I suppose you could, although I'm wondering why you want this? I'm just curious...

That's another options as well that would work...

I've made a program that figures out the expected value of my hand based on my position at the table and the various stack sizes. I won't go into detail, but I'd like to display this data on the window so that I can easily read it quickly while I play (i play up to 8 tables at once).

You need to use the TextOut GDI function
