Writing over the screen

[Jripe]

I'm working on a script that will draw lines over a full screen program and make the line stay there. Is it possible to do that?

Try looking up the GUICtrlCreateLine script that was written a while ago. If you make a transparent window overlay, I'm sure you could draw the GUI lines on it.

Ok, thanks a lot

You could look into using a DirectX library. I wouldn't know any specifics, I barely like doing AutoIt GUIs

this example uses DllCall() to draw on a window....

Excuse me... what about the graphics control and GDIPlus ?

You forgot to ask a question so doubt if you get any good answers.
