using sfml to overlay 3d games?
« on: December 14, 2013, 06:44:14 pm »
hello there,

i'd like to ask if its possible to render to d3d9 surfaces with sfml to achieve an overlay? im trying to do an overlay like fraps etc. but without the hooking part... it works by running the desired application in windowed mode, making my sfml window transparent and clicktrough and then "overlaying" it..

but thats more like a shitty workaround since i'd like to have it working in fullscreen mode too.

thanks!

No, SFML is based on OpenGL and does not support DirectX. ;)
