this is the problem:
for now i still hate C++ so im searching for a way to make my crosshair still in VB
.
I've this problem with DirectX. Whenever i prepare the direct screen to draw on, i MUST clear the screen with an RBG color, so i can be black for most games (then the texture and 2d sprites are drawn on it).
The problem is that i want to make a cross on the desktop hwnd and dont want to make a black (or whataver colored) screen to draw on, cause in this way the cross isnt trasparent
, i tried also to clear the screen using the ALpha option but i cant get it trasparente anyway.
The trick btw is (i think):
Make a really small sized screen (size of the cross u want to draw), and then draw on it a trasparente sprite or texture (if it's possible), and then draw some lines on this texture to make the cross. Or in a simplest way draw first a trasparent texture and then an opaque sprite (from a bmp) that shows the cross.
Im really not skilled about DirectX anyway
P.S. Tell me ur MSN or ICQ in PM
