Transparent Overlay HUD

[wuschelbeutel]

My goal is to create a transparent Overlay HUD in AutoIt over an application (kind of like a filter). The only thing this HUD will contain (for the near future) is the integer contents of an array of size 10, each at a particular coordinate I define (hardcoded coordinates because I run the application in fullscreen in the same resolution always). So, ten numbers are spread out all over the screen - that's it.

When I interact with the application I do not want the HUD to impair functionality. Since the HUD will always be in the foreground (visually) I do not want to click on some place in the app and the computer thinks I clicked on the HUD.

I would appreciate help in the right direction (e.g., existing similar stuff or a key insight or which functions to use etc.).
