Displaying a text directly on the monitor (On-Screen Display)

Hi everyone.
We're trying to diplay a message on the screen, and we want it to be always
there, regardless of whether a new application is run, which may occupy that
portion of the screen.
Put another way, I want a text (or other types of graphics) to be always
visible, even if a fullscreen game is run.

We realized that we need to write some data directly to the system (or
Graphics Card) memory, but the question is how we can access that memory
through .NET , say, C# for example.

Maybe we are wrong, please guide us if you thing there is another suitable
solution instead of wrting to the memory.

I am working with C# in a .NET environment and I have written an application using csgl. I need to display text on the output viewport. I am displaying things with a CsGL.OpenGL.OpenGLControl but I can't figure out how to put text on there. The standard OpenGL solution relies on the wglUseFontBitmaps() api to create the display lists. CSGL doesn't have a comparable function that I can find.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
