    Wink Displaying Text Directly on the screen

    Hi:
    How can i write a text or display an image directly on the screen ( not
    on a form ) like subtitles in movies. I also need to make the text freely moveable in the screen.

    Any help will be highly appreciated.


    Thanks
    VC

    Grab the desktop's DC by using the GetDesktopWindow API, then using the GetDC API on that. Then you can use the TextOut API to draw the text.

    (Just a heads-up)
