QuestionHow to overlap full-screen DX window Pin

Hey there,

I've got a problem with overlapping a full-screen DirectX window. Some customers of ours have some presentation software running. This software runs in a full-screen DX window.

Now we need to have a numbering system -on top- of this presentation window whilst the presentation keeps on running.

It is possible... on some places we have a pinnacle tv card it's software running on top of the screen. I've been asking around and I was told Pinnacle's TV card software uses DX as well and that you can only overlap a DX window with another DX window.

Anyways, I started building some of the DX examples (I'm still fairly new to C++, not to mention VC++, let be DX) and executed those, however they fail with a general error (if the presentation software is running, if the presentation software is not running these apps run fine).

My best guess would be that the software fails, because the presentation software has the 3D device and the samples are trying to create a new one.

What I need is some pointers, I have no clue on where to look, or what windowing API's I need to use to overlap the DX full-screen window. Perhaps I'm just missing some flag I have to set on the DX sample windows...

Any help would be greatly appreciated. In principal all I need is a lil screen, preferably without the blue bar on top nor the menu's, that displays a number whilst overlapping a full-screen DX window, the overlapping being the main concern.

For the curious, the number screen app would listen on a com-port to a button, if the button is pressed the number gets incremented by one. It's use is for a bakkery where you have to wait for your number to get up, whilst there's a presentation running in the background.

Thanks in advance
