    User input in fullscreen directx prog.

    Hi, I was wondering on how to get some user input in a fullscreen directx app. I mean like in my level editor (see some other post), that the user can type in the name of the level. Should I do this with a directinput buffer or something?

    Thanks,
    Usako

    Simply hold a string that has what the user has typed, then blit that string to the screen every update. You may want to make the "textbox get focus" first, if you know what I mean (making the user click on it, maybe change the border colour of the textbox).
    All contents of the above post that aren't somebody elses are mine, not the property of some media corporation.
    (Just a heads-up)
